Practical Information
Description
the LOOPING series constitutes an exceptional family of fast, long-distance catamarans between 50 and 60'. They have all been the subject of individual constructions accompanied by the architect. Patrick Luscher's favorite material is strip planking (epoxy wood composite consisting of a sandwich of small red cedar slats positioned longitudinally). This top-of-the-range composite guarantees a remarkable weight-mechanical quality-structural homogeneity ratio, the stiffness of the chassis is the best possible before moving on to more exotic, more expensive, more sound and... fragile assemblies! (carbon sandwich...). This material is perfectly suited to ocean cruising, it is long and tedious to implement, but once finished, this composite glass/red cedar/glass saturated with epoxy is very long-lasting, easy to maintain and to fix. This copy is one of the finest existing creations, exceptional finish, ultra-complete long-distance equipment, magnificent presentation (constant maintenance by professional team, weekend and holiday use). The size of this large Looping (16.90m) probably makes it one of the best possible multihull units for ocean crossings where its balance, its stride and an absolutely exceptional safety coefficient will do wonders. The easily obtained average speed will be high in exemplary comfort at sea. The silhouette is also very popular. The ideal instrument for an exceptional long trip!
