Catamarans Articles
Following a sensational debut in September 2025, Geneva has rapidly established itself as one of SailGP’s most compelling natural stadiums. Last year’s inaugural edition drew a sold-out crowd, with more than 8,500 ticketed fans lining the lakefront to witness F50 foiling catamarans slicing across the water at astonishing speeds.

In an achievement indicative of marine engineering prowess, VisionF Yachts recently heralded the successful completion of sea trials for their flagship VisionF 101 catamaran. This premier model, the first in the VisionF 101 series, demonstrated remarkable dexterity in challenging Sea State 4 conditions, exceeding speeds of 20 knots with unmatched stability and control. Unlike anything else on the horizon, the VisionF 101 manifests a combination of advanced design, technical performance, and luxurious amenities.

Constructed primarily from aluminium, the catamaran also features a custom-built carbon fibre hardtop—an innovation aimed at reducing weight and enhancing structural performance.
