Re: Multihull Popularity and Interesting Designs

Dufour is in tooling phase and haven't produced a boat yet - just taking orders.
You know, I'm slowly coming around to this type of aesthetics, and starting to see older designs like a LeRouge as being dated. For sure when this styling first appeared I was appalled, but owning a catamaran changes one to appreciate function over form for living, and these styles come with some great functionality. Even beyond that, I'm coming around to the style itself. I had similar change of opinion on the Euro/Ikea interior styles over the years.
Besides, there is plenty of room for hating on style in the catamaran market:

Is this the LeRouge?
If so, then I'm guilty of preferring dated design (though this is a bit over the top). I had not heard of LeRouge before. Thanks for the reference.
So far, the boat that ticks the boxes for me is the FP Helia 44 - or as I like to call it...the HellYeah!
Everything about this boat is right to me.
