The Wynns of "Gone With The Wynns," just took delivery of an HH-44, hull #3. They are blue water cruisers that have a great channel.

Amazing boat. Especially love the flexibility from the hybrid diesel/electric setup, and prop recharge under wind power.

I’m obsessed with the engine design, with water desalination, and fishing pole, you can be out for a long time and be totally self sufficient

Such a leap forward in design, functionality and livability. I LOVE this boat and I really appreciate this review because we are in the market and find this "the boat to beat." Thanks for the review.

Much to like. Thanks Toby and HH. The naval architecture by M&M seems very solid.

Gorgeous baby looking wild and fast.

I really like this catamaran and its existence is going to push expectations higher for future catamarans of all brands. Love the approach of maximising solar as a design objective, coupled with parallel hybrid engines with regen on shaft drives! Truly best of all worlds.

Awesome boat from every perspective.

Great review. I want one.

Wow! I’ve been a sailor since the late 70’s and have lived aboard both multihulls and a monohull. Watching this video, I see a 44’ Catamaran in sea trials and just watching the ‘hobby horsing’ I’m feeling seasick, and concerned for the Wynn’s decision to purchase the same HH model. I certainly hope they don’t regret their decision!!! It doesn’t seem to have enough waterline length to move forward with solid stability in choppy seas. A recipe for disaster. IMO. What does everyone else think?

very pretty, clean design. Would love to know her speed in sub 10 knots compared to Outremer 25 or Balance 442.

Pretty sure those boarding gates open inwards, and I'm not convinced by the position of the winches which will drop the tails all over the instruments and switches. It's a pretty stark interior, too I guess you can option different finishes to an extent. But wow, the performance. It seems monohull and multihull are converging, the former with space, the latter with performance. Reckon the cruising version is the one to get to keep the price sensible, but with the foils.

With the prop spinning most of the time! How is the gearbox holding up?

Just curious. Do the carbon fiber boats make more squeaking noises than fiberglass boats?

I have no cat experience (except dinghys : Dart & Tornado) & I get the selling points, shallow draft, big deck level living, power and performance, but crucialy i will never have £1m + to spend on a complicated depreciating asset of any kind so i am not the makers target market. But I would relish a chance to have some experience on one & see how this type of design behaves on a long upwind leg. Probably better than lots of us might immagine i think…..?

Some strange choices at the helm stations. The lines are routed such that the tail ends drape over the chart plotter, no sheltered seating, nothing to brace against while trimming and it was obviously awkward when the trimmer and helmsman were on the same side. Maybe the helms are just diiferent and not so bad in practice, but they didnt look all that flash in this short vid.

@paulwalker5921

4 ай бұрын

The Versahelm allows the helmsman to tilt the wheel inboard so he can sit on the comfortable bench, giving sheltered helming on long passages and away from the winches. This short review didn't show that feature.

I could never get an answer for this. I even emailed them. Would it be possible to beach this boat (either version dagerboard or keel)? Is there an option to add like mini skeg to add the ability to beach it?

@skyedivers

6 ай бұрын

Not a chance. The rudders are spade rudders ie: little paddles sticking out below the hulls. They would snap right off if you tried to beach it. There's two little rudders, one on each side astern, so if you beach it, you'd end up with two big holes at the back. Hit a reef, or any large, submerged heavy object in deep water and it's bye bye $2 mill cat.

Most of these new performance cats also come with stern drive engines ie: the engine block sits inside the hull, while a large out drive leg containing all the drive gears sticks down into the water below the water line out of two massive holes in the hulls - one on each side. This means you don't want to risk the drive legs hitting bottom. Even touching, or even bouncing on sandy bottoms at anchor may damage the prop and drive legs, or even rip the big water proof skirts that (hopefully) keeps any water from flooding into the engine bays. There are some cat manufacturers with cats that can be beached: eg: Seawinds, up to about 52ft I believe. Fair winds.

@LoanwordEggcorn

@@Tb0n3 HH is using a Beta Marine hybrid where the prop can be driven by diesel or electric. Long term, electric drives will be standard in sailboats because the synergy of being able to motor electrically off anchor/marina/mooring, then recharging the energy used simply by sailing, is just too good. It also fits the sailing ethic of working WITH nature much better than burning fossil fuels. One can also use hydrogeneration on long passages to top up the batteries and power house loads under way, though solar also does much of the work. At a sunny anchorage, solar can be more than enough for house loads, including air conditioning, appliances, etc.

The Wynns have reported/displayed very low to silent water noise and zero flex creaking from solid carbon reinforced construction on their channel in recent videos. @gonewiththewynns

Can’t help but notice how close those pillars are to the winches, does not look like a great design choice. Is it just me?

If it were a monohull, you’d have to wear a harness in case you get pitched overboard. Like that the sounds were included.

Nice design, nice interior, nice features, but I wouldn't like to spend a couple weeks on it crossing an ocean. Heavier displacements are more my taste, this one would make me sick all the way.

Would be nice if you can show the VPP listed polars and compare it to actual speeds, all the videos I have seen, the boat doesn't sail anywhere near the listed speeds. Also I don't see being able to race this as the helm and trimmer are in each others way, can you even manually grind the winches as they are in such an awkward position

@TheSailingFamily

6 ай бұрын

Polars are always written with "ideal conditions" in mind, so flat seas, consistent wind, no current, etc. I don't think it would help much to show the polars on a day like the one Toby is showing as those looked like horrendous conditions with a short, choppy sea. It's an interesting idea, but not something that would be fair to this yacht or any other design.

I don't get it. Prized above Windelo 54, a much bigger performance catamaran with a lot of good innovation, and by the way the only uncompromised helm position, that I know of. Actually, prized above the brand new Neel 52, which offers so much accommodation! Don't tell me, that you pay for the full carbon fiber hull, because it isn't! The two smallest HH catamarans are exactly not full carbon hull, but most likely around 30 percent carbon fiber. Beautiful boat though, but so is Windelo 54 and so many other catamarans, but they offer all more accommodation for the money.
