Douce France
 |
 |
|
|
"Sleek, sophisticated, sexy and scorchingly fast, this 138 ft catamaran, is not only the largest in her category, but she is also a radical new concept in the world of superyachting". |
|
Douce France is a result of meticulous studies and constructed using only the finest craftsmen. She conforms to French Merchant Marine requirements as a passenger vessel, SOLAS and Veritas category 3. With a total fore and aft sail area Qf 5,692 sqft, Douce France has the ability to sail at a constant 22 knots in a 28 knot breeze, and regularly achieves 15 knots in 20 knots of wind.
|
 |
|
Her twin diesel engines allow her to silently cruise at 12 knots if winds become insufficient. On Douce France however, speed is just one element... above all she is a cruising Superyacht.
