Owner Experience Review
Owners choosing the 72fromGUNBOAToften run the boat themselves for fast cruising and shorthanded passagemaking. Under sail it comes alive early—sailing efficiently from about 7–8 knots of true wind—and the lightweight carbon build turns rig pressure into forward motion with quick acceleration and stable, performance hulls delivering strong VMG. The race record supports this character: the72“Layla” has been campaigned in the Caribbean Multihull Challenge with podium results, and similar pace shows up on delivery and sea‑trial runs, especially downwind.
Day to day, the flybridge‑centric layout shapes life aboard: a centralized flybridge helm with generous lounge space encourages social cruising, complemented by aft‑deck arrangements that have included a tender lift/hydraulic bathing platform. Interiors are bespoke, with spacious owner and VIP cabins and flexible four‑cabin options; reviews and yard information emphasize ample storage, dedicated crew quarters, and liveaboard‑ready systems while preserving light displacement.
Ownership aligns more with a small custom yacht than a high‑volume catamaran. Carbon/prepreg sandwich construction, hydraulics, high‑aspect daggerboards, the UpSideUp system, and bespoke rigging concentrate maintenance with specialist yards and technicians. Standard twin Yanmars are reported, but service access varies with each semi‑custom fitout; no widespread class failures have been documented so far, though limited‑production and custom equipment mean higher parts/service costs and a practical reliance on shipyard support.
Pros and Cons
- Efficient sailing from about 7–8 knots true wind with quick acceleration from the lightweight carbon construction.
- Flybridge‑centric layout delivers a centralized helm and large social spaces with liveaboard‑oriented systems.
- Proven performance credentials, with the 72“Layla” posting podium results in Caribbean racing and strong downwind VMG.
- Carbon/prepreg build, hydraulics, daggerboards, and bespoke rigging require specialist yards and technicians.
- Semi‑custom fitouts mean service access and systems integration vary from boat to boat.
- Limited production and bespoke equipment drive higher parts costs and reliance on shipyard support despite no widespread failures reported yet.
