Moored stern-to quayside, it?s apparent that the new 22.7m BGM75 from Bluegame isn?t your typical multihull. Sitting lower in the water and with a narrower beam than a typical catamaran, you nearly have to do a double take to confirm that, yes, she does have two hulls beneath her.
Philippe Briand of Briand Yacht Design, which handled the boat?s naval architecture, says: ?This is an evolution of the monohull, rather than an evolution of a sailing catamaran.?
Case in point, BGM75?s main deck doesn?t tower over the water the way that other catamarans do. Her midsection between the two hulls hovers only 90cm above the surface. It?s just enough clearance to allow her to reap the performance benefits of a multihull platform while keeping her profile low and sleek.
The reason for the difference, Briand notes, is that some powercats have simply been sailing catamaran platforms repurposed as motoryachts; not, like the BGM series, designed from the outset to maximise the benefits of a multihull motoryacht.
?So far, there aren?t too many powercats purposefully designed as a powercat,? he says.
