from Polynesian catamarans 
(so common in 
the Pacific Ocean) 
to the futurist round-the-world 
"The Race" ,
with eight 98ft techno-van maxicatamarans.

 the open space on the deck (about 1,000 sq.ft on  Franca 2) 
and the higher speed
 respect to the standard sailing boats,
  make cat the best solution to enjoy sailing 
while having holidays!  

The "Franca 2", left and below,  is a full scale race/cruising
CENTAURUS catamaran, built in Riga dockyards (on the Baltic Sea) and it is specially designed for oceanic navigation.
