INFLATABLE SAILS! The Future of Sailing?

We toured the International Multihull Show in France—searching for ideas, testing concepts, and reality-checking the hype—as we design our own production series expedition catamaran.

The MODX70 stole the spotlight with its retractable wing foils and fully electric drive system, but beyond the innovation, we’re focused on what actually matters when living aboard: engine access, ventilation, cargo capacity, and systems that don’t fail when you’re 2,000 miles from land.

We’re not shopping—we’re building. Here’s what we’re taking… and what we’re leaving behind.

A catamaran built for real-world adventure, not dockside showings.
