The ritual of navigation: when the engine fades away
As soon as they leave the harbor, the ritual begins. The captain and crew first hoist the mainsail (up to 180 square meters of sail area), then unfurl the staysail. A few moments later, the engine falls silent: propulsion becomes 100% sail-powered. Silence descends, giving way to the gentle lapping of the water and the fresh sea air. It is often at this precise moment that children and adults alike disconnect from their daily routines to better appreciate the wonder of the place.

Why can a catamaran move forward even if the wind is not coming from behind?
That's the secret of aerodynamics! A sail works like an airplane wing. As it inflates, it creates a pressure difference between its two sides. This force literally "pushes" the boat forward. This is what we call... portanceThanks to this, the Navivoile catamaran can almost go upwind by zigzagging.
