The hulls and deck of the Palma 30 will be made using a PVC foam/glass/vinylester sandwich in infusion. Light and well-canvassed, this catamaran, scheduled to be launched next spring, is switching to electric mode in its Grand Voyageur version: its electric motors will offer a range of 30 miles (on batteries alone) to 50 miles (batteries + solar panels). The coachroof extends back to the transom, allowing the installation of almost 85 square feet (8 m²) of panels with a charging capacity of 1,320 W. In addition, the hydrogeneration function of its two electric pods will produce 1,200 W at 8 knots to help fully recharge the batteries in just one nice day under sail.

Exclusive / Palma 30, a cruising catamaran for small budgets

Announced at less than 90 000 HT, the Palma 30 offers a solution to sail on a cruising catamaran at lower costs. Let's discover this project which will be launched in 2022.

In the category of small livable catamarans, the manufacturers are not fighting much to occupy this market. Only Aventura Catamaran still offers a range with the smallest model being a 34 (9.98 m).

The Windpearl shipyard , now based in La Rochelle , wants to renew the genre with the Palma 30, a 30-foot platform (9.56 m overall) that will be offered in 3 versions. The interest is to be able to start with the first version (the least expensive) and then upgrade it according to your needs.

3 versions adaptable to the navigations

The Open version is a dayboat version. The large platform between the 2 hulls offers a large cockpit that can accommodate 10 people (in category C). The cockpit remains very protected on each side by the deckhouses which give height under the hulls.

The hulls are fitted out with 2 cabins at the rear (with double berths 1.40 m wide), while the front is occupied on starboard by the galley and a shower room in the port hull. The forward peaks can be optionally equipped with single berths (1.20 m at the head) which brings the maximum number of berths to 6.

In this very light Open version, 1850 kg empty, and propelled by a generous sail area, 32 m2 mainsail and 18 m2 jib, this catamaran should offer great performances.

A Navigator version more oriented towards cruising will also be available. A composite hoop is installed on the back of the cockpit and a canvas (like a hood) covers the cockpit. This solution is designed to reduce the weight of the boat and to be able to sail in good weather by folding the hood.

Finally, for longer distance cruising, the Grand Tourisme version will be equipped with a rigid deckhouse that can be completely closed at the rear. In this case, the galley goes upstairs and faces the road at the foot of the mast. The 2 hulls are then symmetrical with a toilet in each. Largely more equipped, this version weighs 2,300 kg light and will be approved in category A for 6 persons.

An outboard sufficient for the expected weight

To be in line with the program, these catamarans are powered by outboard engines (from 10 hp to 20 hp). An option with inboard engines will be available (Nanni of 14 hp) only in the Grand Tourism version. Indeed, the extra weight generated by this solution requires the buoyancy of the deckhouse so that if the catamaran were to capsize, the safety hatches would remain above the new waterline.

Aggressive pricing

For its launch, the shipyard announces aggressive prices for the Palma 30. Indeed, the Open version will be available ready to sail at 89 000 euros with sails ( mainsail + jib) and a 10 hp engine. The Navigator version (with sails and a 15 hp engine) will cost 115,000 euros before tax and the Grand Touring version (with sails and a 20 hp engine) will cost 125,000 euros before tax. With these prices, the Palma 30 does not suffer from any competition todayâeuros¦

The molds are being manufactured in La Rochelle and the first model should sail in the second quarter of 2022.

Palma Grand Voyageur

Electric cruising catamaran.

Innovative, stat e-of-the-art design   The Palma Line builds upon the expertise of Nicolas Purnu, a long-time associate of Marc Lombard for multi-hull designs, and of Jean-Noel Lebrun, with 40 years of fiberglass works.

We offer fast, safe, very light yet exceedingly comfortable catamarans with overall lengths between 30 and 35 feet. Their modular designs meet the sharpest family cruising requirements. On the   Palma Grand Voyageur, the coachroof  extends up to the aft beam to offer a complete protection during tropical storms.  

Hulls are optimized for performance & stability. The deck designs reduce aerodynamic drag while optimizing the space available for  the crew as well as movements  on bo ard . The yachts are built in France in Charente-Maritime. The sandwich hull,  deck, frames and bulkheads  use Airex PVC foam for increased strength, weight savings, and durability.

The right choice for the environment The light weight of the Palma catamarans means their construction is a smaller drain on our planet resources compared to heavy cruising cats.

Designed for long range cruising in full autonomy The yacht  combines: - an owner's cabin with bath and dressing on Starboard, a choice of layouts on Port, and a wide deck saloon with an L-shaped galley between the two hulls, - two electrical engines combined with 1 32 0 W of  solar panels and  two 8.9 kWh lithium batteries for greater autonomy at sea,

- Key standard equipment includes a bowsprit, a code 0, two extra aft winches,  a water maker, and a dedicated 130 liter deep-freezer. Under sail, the two e-pod hydro generators will generate 2 x 600 Watts at 8 knots to charge the batteries.

Easy to handle The twin helm stations with steering wheels  provide excellent visibility across the horizon and all around the yacht.  With up to five winches, controls remain always at your fingertips. The powerful yacht mainsails are controlled through dedicated winches located at the center of the aft cockpit bench. The low blocks of the mainsail tackles are mounted on Harken big-boat carts & rails to allow for fast and precise adjustments. To free the gangways and to facilitate movements along the yachts, the shroud chainplates are bolted on the roof sides instead of the hulls. Davits are available as an option to store your tender behind the transom beam.

Exclusif / Palma 30, un catamaran de croisière pour les petits budgets

Annoncé à moins de 90 000 € HT, le Palma 30 propose une solution pour naviguer sur un catamaran de croisière à moindre couts. Découverte de ce projet qui va voir le jour en 2022.

Dans la catégorie des petits catamarans habitables, les constructeurs ne se bagarrent pas beaucoup pour occuper ce marché. Seul Aventura Catamaran propose encore une gamme avec comme plus petit modèle un 34 (9,98 m).

Le chantier Windpearl installé désormais à La Rochelle veut un peu renouveler le genre avec le Palma 30. Il s'agit d'une plateforme de 30 pieds (9,56 m hors-tout) qui sera proposée en 3 versions. Tout l'intérêt étant de pouvoir débuter avec la première version (la moins chère) et de l'upgrader ensuite en fonction de ses besoins.

3 versions adaptables aux navigations

La version Open est une version dayboat . La grande plateforme entre les 2 coques offrant un grand cockpit pouvant accueillir 10 personnes (en catégorie C). Le cockpit reste très protégé sur chaque bord par les roufs qui donnent de la hauteur sous barrots dans les coques.

Les coques sont aménagées avec 2 cabines à l'arrière (avec des couchettes doubles de 1,40 m de large), alors que l'avant est occupé sur tribord par la cuisine et une salle d'eau dans la coque bâbord. Les pointes avant peuvent être en option, équipées de couchettes simples (1,20 m à la tête) ce qui porte à 6 le nombre maxi de couchages.

Dans cette version Open très légère, 1850 kg à vide, et propulsée par une surface de toile généreuse, GV 32 m2 et foc 18 m2, ce catamaran devrait offrir de belles performances.

Une version Navigateur plus tournée vers la croisière sera aussi disponible. Un arceau en composite est installé sur l'arrière du cockpit et une toile (type capote) vient alors recouvrir le cockpit. Cette solution est imaginée pour diminuer le poids de l'ensemble et pour pouvoir si besoin naviguer par beau temps au grand air en repliant la capote.

Enfin, pour la croisière plus lointaine, la version Grand Tourisme sera équipée d'un rouf rigide qu'il sera possible de fermer totalement sur l'arrière. Dans ce cas, la cuisine monte à l'étage et se retrouve face à la route au pied du mât. Les 2 coques sont alors symétriques avec un cabinet de toilettes dans chacune. Largement plus équipée, cette version pèse 2 300 kg lège et sera homologuée en catégorie A pour 6 personnes.

Un hors-bord suffisant pour le poids prévu

Pour être raccord avec le programme, ces catamarans sont propulsés par des moteurs hors-bord (à partir de 10 ch et jusqu'à 20 ch). Une option avec des moteurs in board sera disponible (Nanni de 14 ch) uniquement dans la version Grand Tourisme. En effet, le surpoids engendré par cette solution nécessite la flottabilité du rouf pour que si le catamaran venait à chavirer, les trappes de sécurité resteraient au-dessus de la nouvelle flottaison.

Des tarifs agressifs

Pour son lancement, le chantier annonce des tarifs agressifs pour le Palma 30. En effet, la version Open sera disponible prête à naviguer à 89 000 € avec les voiles (GV + foc) et un moteur de 10 ch. Il faudra compter 115 000 € HT pour la version Navigateur (avec les voiles et un moteur de 15 ch) et enfin 125 000 € HT pour la version Grand Tourisme (avec les voiles et un moteur de 20 ch). Avec ces tarifs, le Palma 30 ne souffre aujourd'hui d'aucune concurrence…

Les moules sont en cours de fabrication à La Rochelle et le premier modèle devrait naviguer au second trimestre 2022.
