Performance under sail?
The MAGNUM 21 is not a sport catamaran but is, for sure, much faster than a Windrider 17. You will remain completely dry with wind of force 4. We’ve been sailing at more than 15 knots without any problem during a recent test in just a breeze and speeds of 22 knots have been achieved in a force 7 without the need for reefing the main sail. The boat sails well close to the wind and turns easily. The tiller is particularly light in the hand making the boat easy to handle. Any weather helm in strong winds can be minimised by using the traveller on the transome. This enables you to tighten the main sheet in a downward direction thereby putting more tension in the leach of the main sail. Provision for a cunningham is also provided so that you can add tension to the luff of the main.
