Le Breton Yachts

The Le Breton Yachts SIG80 has been designed in collaboration with Van Peteghem Lauriot Prevost (VPLP) and Adam Voorhees Design to become the new benchmark for high performance cruising yachts, combining outstanding sailing ability with real luxury.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148605/image/large-d62dbe18171ad2c2dca9dca50a15ce19.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148605">By using modern materials in the hulls, rig, hardware and joinery, Le Breton Yachts aim to create a yacht that will outperform anything currently on the market, while providing a huge saloon, 5 cabins, four heads and crew quarters for 3.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148606/image/large-ecd1b62a7dc2604d983fd477196a30ac.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148606"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148607/image/large-1020784177162fa14f30e5b985c3bb74.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148607">Slender hulls, long bows and centred weights offer an incredibly smooth motion through a seaway with limited pitching and deceleration due to wave action. Average cruising speeds well into the teens and peak speeds in the high twenties will enormously expand the yacht’s cruising range. With effortless acceleration and responsive steering, SIG80 will be a delight to sail.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148608/image/large-dc065a41ced98291467250a27e102db1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148608">She will feature a powerful core sail plan comprising a high aspect square-top fully-battened main and a self-tacking, roller furling jib, both with push-button hydraulic trim controls. These will be complemented by a multi-purpose furling reacher/VMG spinnaker for reaching and running, cross-sheeted to the windward cockpit winch. The innovative cockpit layout optimises ergonomics, safety, comfort and conviviality.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148609/image/large-a725a74d8eb197c866aab12cea451f88.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148609"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148610/image/large-a12bd21423ec732219dbf12268661365.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148610">The accommodation layout presented is a 5-cabin concept but as SIG80 is a custom yacht, the accommodation can be tailored to the needs of the client.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148611/image/large-176f891f6173a5082be3c1bf62b42e58.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148611">By Gemma Fottles

Closer look 25.4 metre concept SIG80

Designed for Le Breton Yachts, the brand new SIG80, designed by Adam Voorhees, is an ultra high-performance luxury yacht offering vast and sumptuous accommodation on a race boat derived platform. The project was unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show in September. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/141413/image/large-0cd16b6d9f7cde88eddb4d705526c729.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/141413">A collaboration with the engineering talent at the world’s top racing multihull design firm, Van Peteghem Lauriot Prevost (VPLP), this pioneering addition to the Le Breton stable shares its stunning lines with its smaller sisters, the striking SIG45 cruiser-racer and the SIG60 performance cruiser, also developed by Adam Voorhees Design and VPLP. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/141414/image/large-0f67ae9191eeed35625573eaf260ab24.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/141414">The SIG80 will be one of the fastest cruising yachts in the world, capable of speeds well in excess of 30 knots with effortless performance and superb handling. The deck layout enables sailing by a small crew: either the owner and guests, or a professional team of two. The sail-handling controls, located at the mast base cockpit and the twin aft steering cockpits, are separated from the areas dedicated to guests. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/141415/image/large-a04f0897060f919bb2cb2173173657da.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/141415">A true semi-custom yacht, the interior layout and finish can be refined according to the owner’s tastes. The standard design features two aft master suites and two guest staterooms (all en-suite), and an open plan living area with same level aft cockpit that exemplifies the connection between inside and out. In addition, the design offers an en-suite crew cabin for two, and a workshop / laundry.
