Stephane Poughon’s bluewater experiences showed him that a power
catamaran was the modern choice for a proper cruising yacht. Poughon, president
of fledgling Sophie Yachts in Monaco, selected experienced multihull naval
architects Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot Prévost (VPLP) for his
company’s first build. He enlisted Oceanco for its megayacht design knowledge
and then selected JT Marine in Zuhai, China, to build the 61-footer. The
collaborative result is due for a July 2006 launch. A 51-footer and a 71-footer
are in the design phase.
 The 61’s 1,560 square feet of living space comprises two queen VIP
staterooms, a master suite, a wheelhouse, a galley and a dinette. A teak
platform lowers from under the wing deck to connect the two sterns at anchor,
providing tender dockage and a swim platform. A pair of 660-hp Caterpillar
engines should produce a top speed of 28 knots. At 10 knots she is projected to
have a 3,300-nm transatlantic range. (Click image to enlarge)
