The Discovery 50 Cat enjoyed an enthusiastic reception at the first boat show exclusively for Multihulls, The Atlantic Multihull Boat Show, which was held in Lorient, Southern Brittany.

As one of the few boats on display not built in France, the Discovery 50 Cat was welcomed by the organisers as giving the show a more international flavour in its first year.

The French passion for multihulls ensured the show attracted a high level of genuine enthusiasts and prospective purchasers.

The Discovery sales team was delighted at the level of response which was even greater than the yachts successful first showing at the London Boat Show. It confirmed France as a positive market for Discovery's Catamaran design and high standards of build quality.

Immediately after the show the owners of the yacht, John and Caroline Charnley, set sail for Northern Spain across the Bay of Biscay on the first of many legs they will sail during their first years voyage, which will take them across the Atlantic to the US East Coast. The yacht is due to be seen at the US Sailboat Show in Annapolis. John and Caroline's voyage can be followed at www.discoverymagic.co.uk
