First look: C-Cat 48

• September 6, 2021

The new C-Cat 48 is a high performance cruising catamaran, which is available in two different specifications. Rupert Holmes reports

The C-Cat 48 is a lightweight and fast Italian cruising catamaran from the Comar Yachts yard near Rome, Italy.

The newly announced catamaran features C-foil daggerboards, which should reduce displacement at speed, in turn helping the cat achieve high speeds on passage, and high bridgedeck clearance.

The C-Cat 48, follows the same philosophy as it’s younger sister, the C-Cat 37 and incorporates the same key concepts to create a single large outdoor living space. The cockpit is protected by a large bimini, which is fully closable for pleasant outdoor living, and the cockpit and dinette are both on the same level, divided by a large sliding door.

Young French designer François Perus has created a boat that fits at the high end of the performance cruising spectrum, yet still offers spacious and comfortable accommodation.

This accommodation includes a very sheltered cockpit that opens onto a large saloon with optional inside steering position.

Two customisable versions are offered: the Antigua is the higher performance option and emphasises the boat’s sporty potential, with a lightweight interior, while the Saint Barths offers a greater degree of luxury for those who may spend extended periods on board.

The first boat is scheduled for a mid-August 2021 launch at Fiumicino near Rome and will be unveiled to the public at the Cannes boat show .

Description

One of my favourite performance catamaran designs is the Gunboat 48. They only ever built six of them, and they still change hands for well into 7 figures, so it has always surprised me that no-one has tried to fill this market gap. Outremer and Marsaudon have a 45 and a 42 respectively – slightly smaller, and they seem to sell well.

Well, no-one up until now that is, as the Italian yard C-Catamarans is launching the C- 48 and she looks like she might clean up in this sector of the market. This Italian yard has a history of spotting an opportunity. They successfully launched a 37 footer: another market that has been forgotten by the major manufacturers.

This Italian boat is competing with the likes of the Windelo 50 catamaran in the performance cruising market. It’s a busy market.

The C-Cat 37 was designed by Marc Lombard, one of our favourite architects, and is a neat entry level cat. They plan to launch a range of high performance, top of the range catamarans: a 62 footer, a 56 footer and the C-Cat 48. Exciting stuff and they’ll be going up against the likes of HH, Icecat, Kinetic, Balance, O Yachts and even Gunboat.

This fast cat is the same length as the Bali 4.8 but that is where the similarities finish. This catamaran is all about safe performance.

• The look! This is a fantastic looking boat: Italian styling at its best
• The combination of twin aft helms and the interior helm station means that you get the best of both worlds: maximum sailing feel and protection when the weather turns nasty.
• With an SA / D ratio over 26, this is a fast, light boat along the lines of an Outremer (with more living space thanks to the Open design)
• Pretty good value compared to the competition
• Comar Yachts have plenty of experience in building boats.
• The quality of the interior finish is a cut above the competition.
• With twin 35 HP engines, she seems underpowered when the wind dies. I am guessing there will be an option to upgrade to more power here.
• With only 300 litres of fresh water capacity, you are going to need a water maker
• The fuel tanks are fairly modest too (2x 130 L). But then again, you should be sailing on this boat most of the time if you keep the weight off and your sail locker is full.
• Aft helms. They always go in the pros and the cons, don’ t they? Great for maximum sailing feel when the C-Cat 48 accelerates, but you are exposed back there if it blows up. There is a great option for an inside wheel at the nav station as well. That would be top of my options list after the gennaker, Code 0 and water maker.

The Team Who Love Fast Cats The C-Cat 48 was designed by the Yacht Design Collective (François Perus and Romain Scolari) who are the team behind the ITA 14.99. It’s a catamaran that has been inspired by the likes of the Gunboat 60 and the Outremer 4X, but also has a healthy serving of Italian styling. This 48 footer  has been designed to cross oceans at speed in safety and comfort. She is built in Fiumicino, about an hour from Rome at the C-Catamarans yard.

She draws many design cues from her smaller sister, the C-Cat 37.

The entire cockpit and saloon is designed along the “Open” lines so loved by Marc Lombard, the designer of the smaller boat. You are protected by a large bimini with the aft cockpit and the saloon on the same level, separated by a large sliding door which connects the 2 spaces into one large open living area.

Best of Both Worlds? The C-Cat 48 is a catamaran for sailors along the lines of a Nautitech or a classic Catana with twin aft helms at the stern and all the running rigging led back so that you can manage the boat  without having to leave the aft cockpit. She’s been designed for short handed crews. The only sails that you will need to deal with forward are the light wind sails (gennaker, Code 0 and so on). There is a Harken winch on the mast to help you.

Of course, the main concern for most with sporty aft helms is protection and safety in bad weather. The C-Cat 48 has an option for an additional interior helm station with an interior wheel which gives you the best of both worlds. I can only think of Kinetic who offer a similar solution, and they are in the 7 figure price bracket

The ride is smooth like an Outremer, with a high bridge-deck and low Displacement to Length ratio. This cat should get you out of trouble quickly. They have though about weight distribution carefully. The anchor is set back just forward of the mast for instance, to centralise the weight.

A Powerful Sail Plan The SA / D ratio sits at over 26 with the mainsail and self tacking jib flying. There is also a genoa and options for a gennaker, code 0 and parasailor /Spinnaker. That should put the C – Cat 48 at the top of the performance cruiser category along with the likes of the Balance 482 (probably the closest competition?) There are also options for a carbon mast and longeron which will help you safely fly more sail area.

Modern and efficient, the C-Cat 48 is equipped with C-Foil daggerboards which should give you a bit of lift at speed.

This catamaran is constructed with a sandwich laminate structure infused with multiaxial fabrics and an epoxy-vinyl matrix. The bulkheads are made of composite with local carbon reinforcements in higher stress areas. She’s pretty rigid which all helps to improve the performance of this catamaran.

In the interior, there are 2 customizable options available: Antigua: a cleaner, sportier finish if weight reduction is your top priority, and St.Barth for a more luxurious, comfortable finish, albeit with some weight penalty.

The C-Cat 48 is one of the most exciting designs to come out in the performance cruising category. It’s great to see this Italian catamaran out on the water. I’ll be queueing up for a test sail!

How much does a C-Cat 48 Cost? What is the price? Well, as always, we will cover ourselves by saying that it depends on the options you go for, but a very nice example will set you back around €750k plus taxes.

This beautiful design comes from the hand of Enrico Contreas and Marco Amadio. Powerful lines and daggerboards that promise a lot of speed and a modern and light interior with all the comfort one could wish for. A great catamaran to stay on or even live on for a long time!

2 interior options are available on the C-Cat 56,

The standard owner’s version with the owner’s hull on the port side with a large bed in the rear and a large bathroom in the front and a hull on the starboard side with a spacious sleeping cabin at the front and rear and a spacious bathroom in between.

Or the charter version with 2 equal hulls with a spacious sleeping cabin at the front and back and a spacious bathroom in between.

In the bow a skipper/crew cabin can be installed

The saloon on the bridge deck between the hulls has a spacious seating area, chart table with optional steering option and a very spacious U-kitchen, because the saloon inside and the cockpit outside are on the same level, the indoor and outdoor space can easily be pulled together to form one large space.

Due to the vacuum injection of the laminate with epoxy vinyl ester resin and the use of carbon at the points where large forces occur, a very light and rigid construction has been created, it is also possible to build the C-Cat 56 entirely from carbon.

It’s been mentioned before, our C-Cats are fast. Speed ​​is also safety, it is also easier to avoid or keep up with weather systems on long trips. But there is more security; both bows have a so-called “crash box” at the very front. This ensures that when hitting a hard object, water does not immediately run through the entire boat, but it keeps the damage in place. In fact, there are 4 airtight compartments that make the C-Cat 56 unsinkable! The daggerboards have fracture surfaces so that they could break off under water in a (very) hard collision without damaging the hull.

We do everything for a comfortable and safe feeling on board!

The C-Catamaran yard is a relatively small yard, so we are flexible to accommodate owner’s wishes. Chartering or living on board gives you other wishes, just indicate these and we will make your C-Cat exactly the way you want it!

Photos, video show collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge after cargo ship collision

The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland collapsed Tuesday into the Patapsco River after it was struck by a large cargo ship.

The bridge's collapse has prompted huge emergency response, with the Baltimore City Fire Department describing the collapse as a mass-casualty incident, and rescue crews searching for seven people in the river. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has declared a state of emergency.

Baltimore  Mayor Brendon Scott  said on X that he was aware of the incident and was en route to the bridge. "Emergency personnel are on scene, and efforts are underway," he said.

The 1.6 mile, 4-lane bridge named for the author of the "Star-Spangled Banner," was the second-longest continuous-truss bridge span in the United States and third in the world.

Don’t Get April Fooled by Wobbling Gas Prices

By: andrew gross & devin gladden.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 28, 2024)—After an early spring surge, the national average for a gallon of gas spent the past week drifting up and down by a fraction of a cent before settling a penny higher at $3.53. But the break may be temporary, as gas pump prices will likely resume a spring increase.

“Uncertainty of the impact of Ukraine’s targeting of Russia’s oil infrastructure likely spiked oil prices recently,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. “But those concerns have abated somewhat for now, and gas prices are settling into a pattern similar to last year when the usual seasonal increase was slow and steady.”

6 great D.C.-area restaurants serving Easter brunch this year

An available spot for Easter brunch can be as hard to pin down as the holiday’s favorite bunny. Not to worry: These six restaurants serving Easter brunch are likely to please whoever joins the party, whether you’re on a plastic- or solid-gold-egg budget.

1401 Okie St. NE, gravitasdc.com .

This Michelin-starred Ivy City restaurant has a verdant feel — its minimalist white decor is accented by lush green plants, making it an ideal spot to ring in warm weather. Gravitas will serve a three-course brunch, inspired by Mid-Atlantic crops, that will cost $85 per adult and $35 per child 8 and younger, with a handful of optional additions for an extra fee. Each course comes with a choice of at least three dishes: Mains, for example, include scrambled eggs with add-ons; a Gruyère quiche with roasted beets, radish and arugula; rib-eye steak with béarnaise sauce and your choice of eggs; a brioche pain perdu with lightly sweet kumquat marmalade and homemade creme fraiche; or a roasted lamb roulade with carrot butter, mushy peas and sunchokes. We’d recommend moving quickly to grab a table here — the brunch’s popularity means it often books up well before Easter. Brunch runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 31.

To make a reservation: Visit its Tock page or website .

Equinox on 19th

900 19th St. NW, equinoxrestaurant.com .

Chef Todd Gray’s weekly plant-based brunch is Easter-themed on the 31st, with a menu that weaves in both savory and sweet and features no meat or dairy ingredients. Brunch will include six courses and cost $50 per person, excluding tax and tip, plus the optional make-your-own mimosa materials for an extra $35 or sangria for $16. The meal will begin with fresh focaccia smothered in rhubarb marmalade and venture through butter lettuce and arugula salad; spinach fusilli pasta; and banana pancakes with maple syrup, Nutella and coconut whipped cream — among other plates — before concluding with homemade pistachio biscotti.

To make a reservation: Visit its OpenTable page .

1734 N St. NW, irongaterestaurantdc.com .

There are plenty of Easter offerings to go around at Iron Gate this year: The Dupont Circle classic will be serving both an Easter brunch menu on March 31 and an Orthodox Easter menu on May 5. The former will start with a four-cheese and cherry tomato marmalade “Pizza Gaina” and continue with a ricotta-stuffed cassatelle. The highlight, though, comes in the form of the Easter lamb mixed grill, which provides three types of lamb: neck steak, lamb chops and Sicilian meatballs, alongside broccolini and mint salsa verde. It will serve its holiday cookie plate for dessert, complete with classic Italian cookies like biscotti and pignoli. Each of these dishes is priced between $12 and $32.

The Orthodox menu includes Mediterranean dishes like avgolemono soup, a chicken-based broth with fried lemon, orzo, dill and hollandaise, as well as the return of the lamb mixed grill, this time accompanied by kohlrabi tzatziki and lemon roasted potatoes. Both days will offer their respective meals from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Flora Flora

655 Water St. SW, pendry.com/washington-dc/dining/flora-flora .

The chic, airy Peruvian-Mexican restaurant on the second floor of the Wharf’s Pendry Hotel is offering a ticketed Easter garden brunch. Tickets will begin at $135 per adult and $55 per child 12 and younger, which will cover access to a raw bar and omelet bar, as well as festive housemade pastries like salted caramel brûlée and chocolate cake “flower pots” from head pastry chef Alexandra McMillen Cavallo. For an extra $90, you can also opt for bottomless Veuve Clicquot champagne, which you can sip while gazing over the Potomac.

To make a reservation: Visit its website or OpenTable page .

St. Vincent Wine

3212 Georgia Ave. NW, stvincentwine.com .

If you thought this New Orleans-inspired Park View wine bar only served libations, think again (though it absolutely does serve libations, including this Easter Sunday). St. Vincent Wine will be holding a Southern-style “bacchanalia” in the form of its outdoor Bunny Bash this year, complete with live jazz, an egg hunt and a menu of Easter classics available from noon to 6 p.m. Reservations cost $15 per person, which entitles each guest to a mimosa or a glass of champagne. Choose from “sweets,” like orange cream cheese-stuffed French toast; “savories” like a local farm frittata with mushrooms, kale and ricotta; and “smalls” like duck-fat latkes topped with bourbon-apple chutney. Prices range from $9 to $19 per plate, and reservations are available until 3 p.m., though brunch runs until 6. Also worth noting: Because it is a wine bar, all members of your party will need to have ID to enter, except for accompanied minors.

To make a reservation: Visit its website or Resy page .

Penn Quarter: 633 D St. NW; West End: 1190 New Hampshire Ave. NW, rasikarestaurant.com .

Both the Penn Quarter and West End locations of Tom Sietsema- approved Indian spot Rasika are celebrating Easter with unique additions to their brunch and dinner a la carte menus. Chefs Vikram Sunderam of Penn Quarter and Rakesh Singh of West End have collaborated to create egg-forward dishes including the Kolkatta egg biryani with potatoes, onions, herbs and spices at West End. Sunderam also created the “Egg Temptation,” an egg pancake with pao, for Penn Quarter, and had a hand in all of the five specials at each restaurant. Prices range from $16 to $22 per dish. And, lest we forget the cherry blossoms, both locations will offer a cherry blossom mimosa for $12 a glass.

To make a reservation: Visit its Penn Quarter Resy page , its West End Resy page or its website .
