Nautism - YOT Power Catamarans announces the arrival of the YOT 41

Just one year after the launch of the YOT 36, and in line with the brand's roll-out programme announced at the time, Catana Group is unveiling the YOT 41, which will make its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024.

The YOT 41 opts for a walkaround deck layout. The central circulation frees up a huge amount of useful space on the nacelle.

The 2024 edition of the Cannes Yachting Festival will be the opportunity to discover two powercats from YOT, the brand new YOT 41, alongside the YOT 36, two models designed by J&J Design, for a concept developed by Olivier Poncin.

At 12.57m long, with a beam of 4.49m with the aft bulwarks raised, or 5.82m with the aft bulwarks lowered in anchor and beach club configuration, the YOT 41 takes advantage of its dimensions to offer even more.

The big change compared to the YOT 36 is the deck layout, which moves from Walkaround mode - perfect for a 36-footer (as it offers 4 pilot seats under the T-Top) - to Bowrider mode, which we feel is ideal for a larger unit, maximising the volume of the 2 cabins.

In fact, the YOT 41 does away with the 2 gangways, and instead features a central passageway to the foredeck, via a central door, maximising the useful external volume of the nacelle, thanks to a full-width layout.

The exterior space of the YOT 41 is organised around 3 distinct areas or moments:

  • the central area, protected by a full-length windscreen and an XXL T-Top, which houses the helm station, galley and large sofa;
  • the forward cockpit, ideal for both sailing and anchoring, with very secure access;
  • the aft cockpit, with its fold-down bulwarks that open wide to the sea.

The aft cockpit of the YOT 41 becomes a Beach Club with a 150cm x 100cm electric submersible rear platform, with a 200kg capacity, positioned between the 2 Mercury outboard engines - factory-fitted, a guarantee of quality.

At night, the YOT 41 offers 2 cabins of equivalent size, with large berths and en suite shower rooms, both with direct sea views.

The two Mercury Verado outboard engines on offer are the very latest generation 400hp V10s, characterised by their torque and silence when underway.

The catamaran architecture offers a significant reduction in drag compared with a monohull, while the stable shape of the boat makes it extremely comfortable both at sea and at anchor.

To be discovered at Cannes.
