Passagemaking in a Powercat

[june 7, 2024].

Taking your Powercat to a new cruising ground opens fresh horizons for exploration and fun. It’s really what boat ownership is about. And making the passage yourself can be an incomparable adventure.

But moving your boat is also more demanding than a weekend or vacation out-and-back trip. Once you get more than a day or two from your starting point, you need to be ready for a range of contingencies — you need a plan.

Power catamaran passage-making has a few different concerns than passages under sail, including fuel management. For insight on planning a Powercat passage, we spoke with Captain Calvyn McEvoy, an experienced delivery skipper and instructor.

There are two types of long passages – transiting stretches of coastline and crossing oceans. No matter where you’re headed, or the type of boat you’re moving, you must plan for the basics of food, water, fuel, stopping, weather, and routing. Weather and sea state impacts all boats, and will affect your Powercat’s fuel consumption and range.

Coastal Trips

Moving your Powercat from Ft. Lauderdale up to the Chesapeake or New England is a great way to discover new cruising grounds. It’s a multi-day adventure, most of which is spent on the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). Being near the coast makes for an easier passage, with plenty of stopping places to refuel, take on supplies, and stop for the night.

Fuel management becomes more about planning refueling and knowing consumption rates, and less about having enough on board. Since you’ll be stopping most nights, you can restock and resupply along the way.

Crossing Oceans

Taking a new Powercat across the Atlantic, say from the construction boatyard in South Africa to Florida, is a big undertaking. We talked about  one new owner’s delivery  in a recent blog, and it can be a rewarding experience.

Heading offshore will compound your fuel planning needs. There aren’t many places to gas-up in the middle of the ocean. You need to carry a lot of extra fuel, and set your pace to maximize range.

“When I did trips from Cape Town to Bahamas,” says McEvoy, “we’d run those boats to get the best range, running one engine at a time at low RPM, making six to eight knots. You can get so much more range.”

Even with that, you’ll need to carry supplemental fuel and maintain very conservative speeds.

Fuel Planning

To effectively plan your trip, you need to know your boat’s capabilities and limits. While Leopard publishes Powercat cruising ranges, weather conditions and differences in load and trim on your boat will impact your actual range.

“Most stated ranges are for a bare boat with not much gear or water on board in flat water,” McEvoy points out. “Add in gear, full tanks, then waves and currents and you’ll be burning more fuel than what’s written on paper.”

Once you’ve owned your boat for a while, you’ll have a better sense of how much fuel it uses at various speeds. Take notes as you learn and keep a log, so you have accurate information instead of guesses or estimates. If you have a fuel flowmeter, keep detailed records of speed, RPMs, conditions and fuel consumption for future reference.

Daily Run Plan

Once you know your daily range, research where you can stop, and where you can refuel. You might not need to refuel daily, but taking on fuel should always be top of mind. If you plan to stop in marinas, you’ll need reservations. Anchoring out for the night gives you more flexibility about when you stop and where.

Plan your stops to be near places where you can easily refuel. Calculate your planned average speed, and how many hours per day you will travel.

Professional delivery crews on time sensitive deliveries may run round the clock and plan 300 mile days or longer while traveling offshore, even on coastal trips. But a Powercat owner with their family or a few friends heading up the ICW might aim for a more relaxed pace, moving eight or ten hours a day or less.

“Taking a Powercat down the ICW isn’t so difficult,” McEvoy tells us. “But I wouldn’t recommend doing it at night. There are too many shallows, markers, channels, and things you can’t see.”

Know Your Fuel Stops

“Time your trip by the anchorages and stops,” says McEvoy. “Pick secondary ports and pre-plot them. Plan your fallback ports; those things matter.”

Familiarize yourself with multiple stopping options along your route. Plot multiple route forks to alternative places you can pull in if you can’t make that day’s destination. You don’t want to be searching for a safe place if you’ve got mechanical issues, bad weather catches you, or you just need to stop moving.

Know where to find fuel near each fallback port, and make a note of the phone numbers so you can call ahead if you have to make an unplanned stop.

Fuel Saving Tips

Running your boat for optimal fuel consumption takes a little experience, and sometimes a bit of trial and error.

Leopard has  fuel consumption curves for your boat , and those can help you look for the right RPMs and boat speed to maximize your range. But as Captain McEvoy observed, those numbers are for light ship test conditions, and your mileage will vary. They’re still worth studying, because they show you how fuel consumption changes as you push the throttle. But test your own boat with specific loads and engine RPMs.

Finding the right speed

Many boats find their most efficient speed somewhere around 80% of full throttle. Most have low consumption rates at low RPMs, but as you rev the engine, fuel consumption increases.

Captain McEvoy tells us, “You might make six to eight knots while flat in the water with low RPMs. But if you increase your speed to ten to twelve knots, all of a sudden, the stern starts to squat and the boat makes bigger waves. Fuel consumption goes up a lot.”

At that point, the boat is displacing lots of water and burning lots of fuel for its speed. But, McEvoy adds, “when you push it to get to fourteen to sixteen knots the boat gets up and planes and is more efficient.”

Check your bottom

Before you set out on a passage, get your Powercat’s bottom and propellers cleaned. If you can’t haul out for a power wash, clean the bottom in the water. Growth creates drag that requires more power and fuel to overcome. You might not feel slower, but your boat will use more fuel to maintain your preferred cruising speed if the bottom or propellers are dirty.

Save weight

A heavier boat takes more power and fuel to move at the same speed. So if you are stopping at night, think about not filling the water tanks every day. Consider how much gear you really need for the journey. Less weight equals more fuel savings and better range.

Preparations

Make a checklist of tasks before your trip. This should cover food and meals, navigation, emergency routines and a watch schedule. Give yourself time to plan and prepare. A long trip – even a coastal one – isn’t something you decide to do on the spur of the moment.

Engine Service

Begin with a fresh oil change, clean fuel filters, and inspect the engines to ensure all fluids are topped up. If you exceed the service interval for your oil change on your trip, you’ll need to do one along the way. So it’s better to start with a fresh change. Inspect everything, including all replaceable components like impellers, and make sure you have spares.

Courses and Routes

Plan your entire course before you go. It will probably change once you move, but a full route from the start means you know where you’re going, you’re just making adjustments as you go along instead of preparing all new navigation.

As Captain McEvoy mentioned above, plan alternate stops along the way. Know where you can pull in for fuel, spares, food, and even water and other supplies.

Refueling Plan

For most coastal passages, you’ll be able to get in and out of fuel docks pretty easily. But you should still check ahead to make sure the approaches work for your boat. Use Google Earth to see just how you need to gain entrance, and plot a course all the way to the dock.

It’s a good idea to carry a few spare jugs of diesel along on any long trip. Make sure you know how you’re going to get the fuel from the jerry can to the fuel tank. Pouring with a spout is messy and tricky even with a funnel. A small electric pump will do the job nicely. Siphons work well if you can get the can above the fuel port.

Aim for safe, but have some fun

Safety is always a priority, but you’re on a large, stable, and luxurious Powercat. You should have a great time. A long passage doesn’t have to be a grind. Pace coastal trips to explore the places you stop, plan good meals, and leave time to see the waters you’re moving through. Nothing says you can’t add a lay day if you find someplace special.

A Powercat passage requires a great deal of thought and planning. And, if you do it right, getting there can be more than half the fun!

SEAWIND 1600

The 1600 passagemaker reflects our aspiration to create the ideal cruiser in every aspect: this is the ultimate offshore cruising catamaran., pointing ability & shallow draft, the ultimate offshore cruising catamaran.

Captive daggerboards, which don’t protrude through the deck, reduce maintenance and keep a clean deck that could otherwise prove hazardous offshore. Keeping these large foils captive also prevents windage aloft which can cause a catamaran at anchor to swing and swerve about her mooring. This approach conveniently maintains the aesthetic of the stunning Reichel Pugh design. The daggerboard lifting mechanism is run to a dedicated control in the cockpit, so there’s no need to rush forward and then cross the boat to raise the boards.

PERFORMANCE WITHOUT COMPROMISE

Comfort and performance are a trade-off discussed endlessly. The Seawind 1600 Passagemaker strikes this balance through the use of advanced build technologies and continuous weight-saving efforts. Strategically placed carbon fiber reinforcements throughout the structure, Kevlar reinforcement under the waterline and revolutionary daggerboard integration not only make the Seawind 1600 Passagemaker an extremely stiff and fast catamaran, but also gives her the beach ability that so many Seawind catamarans are renown for.

SHALLOW DRAFT

Through the use of Kevlar reinforced hulls with retracting daggerboards and rudders, the Seawind 1600 Passagemaker is safe on a sandy shoal. The minimum draft (with daggerboards and rudders up) is only 54cm – or 2ft 1 inches. That means the Seawind 1600 Passagemaker can enter protected anchorages and waterways inaccessible to almost any other cruiser on the market today.

Designed for extended ocean crossings, the Seawind 1600 Passagemaker has all of the cruising practicality you would expect from a new Seawind catamaran, but delivered on long and fast performance hulls.

High aspect deep retracting rudders and daggerboards offer performance and practicality - this catamaran sailboat tacks easily and is a nimble performer, but has a minimum draft of only 54cm with the foils raised.

At 52 foot, this Reichel Pugh designed performance cruiser offers sailors a true sailing experience whilst not sacrificing on safety or comfort. The Seawind 1600 Passagemaker has proven to be a world class catamaran capable of being sailed anywhere, by anyone.

The Seawind 1600 Passagemaker carries an exclusive interior full of the elegant finish work expected of a true thoroughbred sailing yacht.

A delightful light-oak interior oozes Italian style. The chic grey of the oak interior contrasts well with the modern walnut floor timbers. Soft LED lighting and quality sound system enhance the carefully planned atmosphere aboard.

Reichel Pugh design expertise, along with Seawinds 35 years of practical catamaran handling experience combine to create a yacht ideal for long extended cruising or live-aboard sailing.

Designed by world renowned naval architects Reichel Pugh, this 52-foot luxury catamaran is the perfect balance of cruising comfort and performance sailing.

With simple sailing systems, twin protected helms and a large open cockpit space, this blue water luxury cruising catamaran sets the standard for offshore sailing.

At 52 ft, our Seawind 1600 Passagemaker is the flagship of our range with a brief to be the “ultimate luxury offshore cruiser”. And after thousands of design hours, and thousands more in the early construction and testing phases, that work has been rewarded in a competition we hold in high regard.

SPECIFICATIONS

Overall length, 52'8" / 16.1 m, 26'6" / 8.1 m, 1'9" / 0.6 m, displacement, 31,700 lbs / 14,400 kg, diesel saildrives, 2 x yanmar 57 hp / 43 kw, 196 us gal / 744 litres, fresh water, 174 us gal / 658 litres, 1,558 sq ft / 144.5 sq m, 21'8" / 16.1 m, 200 us gal / 750 litres, 1,080 sq ft / 100 sq m, 478 sq ft / 44.5 sq m, screecher (optional), 990 sq ft / 92.5 sq m, spinnaker (optional), 2,370 sq ft / 220 sq m, recommended options.

DUAL ENGINE CONTROLS

A second electronic engine control mounted at the stbd helm makes for easy maneuvering and makes the boat manageable from either helm.

SIDE CLEARS

These removable role up clears are an essential item for any blue water sailor. Attaching to the outboard side of both the port and stbd helms they allow skippers to remain warm and dry at the helm in even the worst of conditions whilst still allowing for easy access and use of the sail controls.

BATTERY LITHIUM UPGRADE (720AH)

Change from the traditional AGM battery system to a high capacity Lithium system from Mastervolt. This option not only upgrades the batteries but also modifies the entire charging system ensuring a total compatible system including upgraded mastervolt alternators and regulators, additional AGM start battery and DC/DC charging unit.

STORM JIB WITH FURLER

The storm jib is designed for use in winds too strong for the regular jib, typically in conditions 40kts and up. It provides just enough sail area to maintain directional stability.

#SW1600-OPT001

Carbon park avenue boom.

Very simply, the wings of the carbon fiber boom extend outwards to catch the mainsail as it is lowered. Lazy jacks ensure that the mainsail is captured within the confines of the recessed area of the boom deck and hides the bulk of the sail when moored. The sail cover is fit to the inboard groove of the track system installed on the inside perimeter of the boom top.

SATELITE PHONE/DATA WIFI ROUTER IRIDIUM GO

The Iridium GO! is a satellite wifi router/phone. Once installed in the boat the boat will have a wifi hotspot the same as any office/home and all devices (phones, computers, chartplotters, c-zone etc) can then easily be connected to the internet.

Passage Making

• By Brittany & Scott on s/v Rasmus
• Updated: July 29, 2011

Windtraveler- Passage making

A lot of you wonder what we do when we sail from place to place. It’s not so much what we do when we are sailing, but what we do before we set sail. A lot of our preparation has to do with the length of the journey (anywhere from 6 to 48 hours, so far) but in general, we adhere to standard procedures that have become almost second nature to us. Our next passage will, mostly likely, be a long one (48+ hours) – so we will prepare in the following ways:

1. We check the weather: Weather is the single most important aspect of passage making. We learned this lesson the hard way. It can, literally, make or break your trip. If you plan on doing a passage that is 24 hours or longer – it becomes even more critical that you find an adequate “weather window”, or a few days of decent seas and favorable winds, in which to move. We get our weather a variety of ways – via websites (when we have internet), and through our SSB (single side band long range radio) where we are able to download detailed weather maps or “Grib” files and interpret them. Thanks to our latest sponsor, Chris Parker of the Marine Weather Center, this is going to be much easier for us now!

2. We prepare meals: Even the slightest wave action can make cooking down below a real chore, so prior to weighing anchor, I create a meal plan and get everything ready. I chop the vegetables, cook the rice, get snack foods handy and try to get meals arranged to that all I need to do is warm them up over the stove. Not having to chop, rinse, clean, get ingredients, open cupboards and lift seat cushions makes life at a 20 degree angle while pounding into a head sea much more pleasant. I boil water and fill our thermos so we always have hot water available for tea and I pull out a few Red Bulls so that they are within arms reach. Popcorn has become a recent snack of choice, so we’ll make this as well.

3. We spot check the boat: Prior to leaving on any passage, we go through the entire boat and check the gear. We check lines for chafe, we inspect our shrouds and chainplates for any cracks or loose cotter pins, our boom vang fittings and shackles for any wear and tear…The sea is an unforgiving place and if you don’t monitor your gear it can (and most likely will) fail you when you need it most. Hearing a “snap” in the middle of the night in the pitch black darkness is not something we want to experience.

4. We spot check the engine: After having transmission problems back in the beginning of our trip, Scott and I have become pretty ridiculous about maintaining our engine. Before every passage we check the transmission fluid and the oil, check the belt tension and coolant and generally, just investigate our pretty iron jenny for anything that looks amiss. We are sticklers about regularly scheduled maintenance and perform all the required oil and filter changes as needed. While we are a sailboat, our 53 hp engine is one of our greatest safety features.

5. We ready the inside of the boat: Because we are going “the wrong way” south we are, more often than not, pounding into some pretty serious waves that can be anywhere from five to twelve feet. While our boat can handle this no problem, we need to make sure all her insides can as well. We are very good about keeping our boat “ship shape” most of the time anyway, but prior to leaving we make sure that nothing below can become a projectile; we stow all our loose gear and make our home nice and tidy so nothing crashes, falls and/or breaks. Cleaning up a pound of flour that has found its way from the counter to the floor, for example, would be hell underway.

6. We make sure all our head lamps and spotlights are charged: As much as I don’t enjoy pointing out the blatantly obvious, night sailing is very dark. Unless there is a full moon, typically you can see nothing beyond the bow of your boat. Lights are necessary to see what is around you and check the sail trim. We have two very powerful LED spotlights that we use (one is back-up) and we have learned (also the hard way) that we must make sure they are charged prior to leaving. I also make sure our personal head lamps have batteries and are good to go.

7. Lay out all necessary clothing: You may or may not have gathered that getting items from down below while underway can be difficult. It is for this reason we try to have everything out that we will need. We ready our foul weather gear and have a few layers of clothes handy. Typically, we won’t change clothes the entire time we are out – but we will add or remove layers. This makes the shower upon arrival all the more gratifying. Sigh.

8. Prepare the lee cloths: On our boat we have what are called “lee cloths” or swaths of fabric that you can clip up alongside a bunk so that you don’t roll out of bed when the boat is at an angle. We have several good sea berths on the boat, and depending on our point of sail – I will set up that bunk so that whom ever is “off watch” can easily climb in and hit the hay.

9. Get out safety gear: Our jack-lines (webbed lines that run from the front to the back of the boat, on either side, onto which we “clip in” whenever one of us goes forward of the cockpit) are always run, so all we need to do is get out our inflatable PFD’s (life jackets) and tethers (we use these). We wear our PFD’s without exception during night sailing. Each of them have a harness, a whistle, as well as a mini strobe light.

10. Secure the dinghy and dinghy motor: Trailing a dinghy behind the boat is not a very wise thing to do when passage making, so we raise ours onto the davits and secure it with a web of ratchet straps and lines for minor passages – for longer passages, however, (like an ocean crossing) – we will deflate it and bring it on deck. In addition, we remove our outboard and lash it to a motor mount on our push-pit so that it won’t go anywhere either.

11. Get rest: Long passages can be very, very tiring for two people. Scott and I maintain a three hour watch schedule at all times, meaning someone is on deck and “on watch” 24 hours a day – for three hours at a time. This sort of schedule, despite what it might seem, is very exhausting, so Scott and I try to get as much rest as possible before setting off. We also mentally prepare ourselves for how ever long our passage will be. There is nothing worse than thinking you are shoving off on a “three hour tour” only to end up bashing to windward for two days. Ask Gilligan, mental prep is key.

The theme here is preparation. You must always be ready for anything when heading out to sea. Making sure we have all of the above taken care of prior to leaving means we are better equipped if and when the unexpected rears it’s (usually ugly) head.

Love, Brittany & Scott

When two people, with the same life long dream of sailing around the world find each other, there’s only one thing to do… make it happen! Which is precisely what we, Scott and Brittany, are doing aboard our boat, Rasmus_, a Hallberg-Rassy 35 which departed from Chicago September 2010! Follow along at _

Learn to sail on a Cruising Catamaran

Live aboard a passage making catamaran, participating to all onboard activities.

OCEANS: the final Frontier.

These are the voyages of the catamaran Galaxi.

Her continuing mission: To explore uninhabited islands, to seek out forgotten customs and civilisations.

To boldly go where few men have gone before leaving behind only footprints and a “Clean Wake”.

Thank you for visiting our site.

Galaxi is a Lagoon 380 catamaran built in 2003. She was in charter work until Stefano bought her in 2019 and started extensive remodelling and improvements to turn her into his new passage making Catamaran.

Internal changes included turning the forward cabins into a workshop/store on port and an en-suite on starboard, reshaping galley with a modern induction stove, new Corian cooktop, and sink.

Mechanically , she had engines and sail-drives rebuild, new batteries, standing rigging replacement, two new anchors and chain, two new winches, new watermaker, 1.3Kw solar panels.

Electronically , new EPIRBS, new AIS system, navigation and plotting software and hardware

Image Gallery

Many of these pictures are from our first circumnavigation on board Novae, a Foutaine Pajot salina 48. Galaxi is smaller, but easier to handle and more agile.

Are we required to stay on watch at night, scrub the deck or cook our own meals?

No, all of the above is optional, however if you want to learn how to sail a cruising cat (or any sailing vessel), you are encouraged to ask questions and to participate in all on board activities.

Will we be going ashore?

Yes, any time we are at anchor, you will be able to go ashore, with us or alone. No ‘off-the-boat’ activities are covered by our agreement.

Will we be able to choose our routes, pick up and disembark destination?

Maybe. You would have been informed of our program before you booked the cruise, we will try and stick to the program as much as possible, but our priority will  ALWAYS be the safety of crew and boat, secondarily the comfort of all. Despite our best efforts, and very seldom, the weather might prevent us from being where planned at the right time. Should that happen, you will be required to make your way to/from us to your airport at your own expenses, so ‘flexy’ tickets are advised.

Are you operating now?

YES.  We are finally back in ‘Cruising Mode’.!! We will be sailing the Eastern Greek island and the Turkish coast throughout the 2023 season.

What are your rates

We only have one rate: USD 4,200/week

That includes:

Queen size bed with memory foam in private cabin.

Full board for 2 people.

All consumables (fuel, water, repairs etc)

Transit logs and anchoring fees. We normally don’t go to marinas.

Linen, towels etc.

Clients And

My family and I met Stefano and his lovely wife and crew mate Helen some years ago when we hired them and their 44 foot Catamaran “Capella” to take a cruise over to Rottnest Island (Western Australia) for a couple of nights.

We had such an amazing experience we then hired them every summer holiday for the next few years.

Stefano is a hugely experienced seafarer, with limitless patience, who taught me the basics of seamanship, no mean feat for a landlubber like me!

Iakovos Flerianos (GR)

In September of 2019 i had the great opportunity to sail with GALAXY from beautiful Leukada Island to Rodos and learn everything about Catamaran.

Stefano is a lovely man, very calm he explains everything and he is a real Sailor with a huge experience and many things to teach.

He loves the sea, the nature, the animals I’ve learn so many things and thank you very much for that!

Now I am a skipper in a Catamaran and I make charters in Greece and that’s because I had the greatest teacher!! Thank you very much Stefano! I will see you one day again in our big house which is “somewhere in the sea”

Be always healthy and happy!! 

Mark Z. (AU)

If you seek a world away from the hustle and bustle of commercial tourism taking you to paths rarely trodden by the masses, well this is for you.

Stefano and Helen will take you to a world of natural beauty, places that postcards cannot define and destinations of history that appear dreamlike and somehow touch your spirit in a way that you would never would have thought possible.
