Sail Fast. Live Fully. Fusion 80 from Gunboat.
“Sail Fast. Live Fully“. That’s the new mantra at Gunboat where they are developing a new line of luxury performance yachts: the Fusion 80.
Sailing fast has always meant more than speed. As well as miles covered, weather windows, and time under sail, speed is freedom. It is the ability to leave earlier, arrive sooner, and choose conditions instead of reacting to them. It is sailing instead of motoring. Wind instead of diesel. Motion instead of waiting.
And that’s the ethos of the new range: building on Gunboat’s heritage in high performance cruising catamarans, they are moving the dial on what is possible at speed with the launch of a new segment: the Gran Turismo Catamaran.
Explore SpecsThe Fusion 80 sails efficiently in light air where heavier luxury catamarans motor. Passages become quieter and routing becomes flexible.
Living fully at sea means space that works while the boat is sailing as well as when it is anchored. It means helming positions that are connected and intuitive with expansive social spaces that remain calm, protected, and usable at speed. The Fusion 80 is designed so performance and comfort do not compete but rather reinforce each other.
Most yachts force compromises. Performance boats come with a space penalty, and luxury boats come with weight, noise, and lost sailing time. Gunboat is refusing to play by the rules with the Fusion 80. It’s a stiff, lightweight platform with efficient hulls and a powerful sail plan, with expansive interior and exterior spaces that are light, have great flow, and look spectacular.
Living fully also means living underway. There’s a 19 m² master suite with private sea access. An integrated flybridge with panoramic views and an elevated social space. Forward and aft spaces that remain part of the sailing experience.
The Fusion 80 is a yacht designed for those who love the thrill of sailing, but want to live well while doing it.
How Have They Achieved That?
The Fusion 80 has been engineered to outperform its volume class by ~30%. They have achieved this through:
- High-aspect appendages. A stiff, lightweight composite platform
- Optimised hydrodynamics by VPLP Low friction, efficient hull forms
- A large, balanced sail plan (310m2 upwind) Less weight (25T) = more wind unlocked
- Fusion sails in 6-8 knots of breeze where heavy cruisers motor.
- Longer sailing windows, quieter passages, less motoring.
Gunboat are answering the question their owners have asked for years:
“Can we have more space without losing the Gunboat feeling?”
The answer is yes.
