LEROUGE VIK 140 - speed, comfort and affordability. The ultimate performance cruising catamaran #7.

In our series The ultimate perfomance cruising catamaran. Know the truth we show you many examples of affordable, comfortable and fast sailing catamarans, talk with owners and tell you pros and cons of these boats. There are good discussions about catamaran life, lightweight construction, sailing speed in different wind conditions, advantages of ocean crossing on a light, fast and comfortable catamaran.
In the seventh film of the series THE ULTIMATE PERFOMANCE CRUISING CATAMARAN, where we interviewed long term cruisers/liveaboard owners and made catamaran boat tours, we present Eric Lerouge’s VIK 140 catamaran. His catamarans are well know for good speeds and comfortable sea rides.
In Lemon Cays in the San Blas islands we at the end met a Lerouge performance catamaran. There are a lot of Lerouge cats out, but the others never had time for filming.
Come on board with us to Philoxene and listen why the owners feel so safe on this boat, even in 50 knots of wind. A french-italian owners set the goal to sail around the world just in 2 years. At least this is the plan for now…
This is 45 feet very light catamaran. She is first of all a good sea boat with wide beam, good buoyancy, short bridge-deck high above the water, minimum windage and she is unsinkable.
She easily takes the ground on her trouble-free low-aspect keels which protect her hulls, rudders and propellers and are faired into the hulls curve of area.
Long waterline length and semi-circle sections offer high performance, easy tacking and pitch damping.
Love, Peace and Ocean Breeze
