What this video covers

The Le Grand Mont boat show in France serves as the backdrop for a comparison between the HH44 and HH50 catamarans.0:12 The HH50 Ocean Cruising (OC) model features an aluminium mast, a mix of carbon fibre and e-glass construction, and a layout that closely mirrors the upcoming HH44.2:36 The HH44 utilises folding transoms to maximise living space, effectively providing the interior volume of a 48-foot vessel within a 44-foot footprint.3:14 While the HH52 offers a distinct forward cockpit layout and unique outboard helm seats that extend over the hulls, the owners confirm their decision to stick with the HH44 due to budget constraints and the suitability of its size for a two-person crew.7:58 Inspection of a three-year-old HH50 provides insight into long-term wear and build quality, confirming the structural integrity of the design.14:51 The owners note that the HH44 will feature a similar galley, head, and tech space configuration to the HH50, providing a preview of their future boat's ergonomics and finish.4:12
