SIG is a range of luxury cruising catamarans designed to be fast, innovative and easy to handle. The intention is to make 60’ and 80’ versions available, but so far only the 45s have made it into production.
Particularly elegant lines, a well-organized deck layout for small crews and spacious living areas are just some of the features of this comfortable catamaran which was originally designed for day sailing but turned out to be a very competent blue-water cruiser .

LE BRETON YACHTS SIG45
The Le Breton Yachts SIG45 electric catamaran combines speed, innovation and grace, taking advantage of the performance, space and stability advantages of a modern performance multihull, but retaining the aesthetic elegance and ergonomics of a modern monohull.
The SIG45 is extraordinarily easy and enjoyable to sail fast. The ride is smooth, predictable and very comfortable. Modern rig and sail handling systems and extremely ergonomic working areas make sailing a pleasure for a small crew. The pilothouses and coamings provide protection to those on deck and frame a huge cockpit (more commonly found on yachts literally twice the size), which is perfect for sail handling, entertaining or just plain relaxing.
The accommodation is inviting and remarkably spacious, providing light, elegant and comfortable quarters for six, with unheard of privacy for a 45ft yacht.
Keeping weight out of the ends of a yacht, particularly one with such slender hulls as the SIG45, is critical to reducing pitching motion. This in turn increases comfort and performance. For this reason, the electric motors, generator and batteries of the SIG45 are located within one meter of the longitudinal centre of gravity, below the pilothouse sole. This also gives excellent access for maintenance. Similarly, the water and fuel tanks and the windlass and anchor chain are located in the main beam.
The boat is currently used for chartering the Greek Island. The company renting it fastsailing.gr is based in Lavrion. For more information about chartering the boat please visit their website: fastsailing.gr

SIG 45 - catamaran for agent 007
My name is SIG! SIG 45 Yes exactly! This is truly a catamaran for agent 007. With many surprises and incredible possibilities. Sasha Goron tested this device for us at the multihull exhibition in La Grand Motte.
Test drive of the sailing catamaran SIG 45
Two of them were built, one in the States and one in Europe, so we got it for a test drive.
Amazing history of creation
Hugo Le Breton did not want to compromise on the yacht of his dreams and created a masterpiece. The recipe was simple enough - to find like-minded people, people who understood and felt Hugo's idea. The designer was chosen VPLP , an architectural firm with the strongest track record in the field of multihull yachts. On account of their trimarans ORMA, Groupama , the pinnacle of their work is the trimaran Oracle for America's Cup and the largest cruising catamaran Hemisphere ... Moreover, he himself was involved as a consultant. Bruno Peyron , the winner of the Jules Verne Cup, who bypassed Orange 2 around the world in 50 days. Finally, interior design work Bjorn Johansson who has won several awards for his creations in the superyacht world.
And as a result, the implementation
An explosive cocktail would not be ready without a worthy manufacturer. Skilled craftsmen were needed in working with a carbon case, they were found in Italy. Indian yachts , whose lineage is replete with names such as 60 'GROUPE BEL, IMS 46', BRIBON , also make decks for Wally and Swan ... The Italians approached the matter with a twinkle and gave out 5.5 tons of displacement to the mountain, this weight accounts for 134 square meters. m of main sails. Voila! And the boat rushes faster than the wind.
On the water
Outside SIG 45 possesses ideal proportions, it is felt that the marketer's hand has not been applied here for a second. They were not allowed to this creation. And this is nice, because after the crisis you rarely see a truly distinctive and beautiful yacht. So you can admire this boat for a long time.
Entering the huge cockpit, we find a rotating mast, 5 winches and quite normal controls. Nothing supernatural, i.e. a yachtsman with average experience can handle SIG quite well. Yes, I foresee immediately the exclamations of our "experienced" yachtsmen, watching a photo of a kata on one float, about overturns, etc. SIG has a rollover prevention system, which itself deflects the sheets in the event of a dangerous roll or a sharp gust of wind. Like this!
Further more - we find electric motors in the housings Oceanvolt , for such a weight and such contours there are plenty of them. And, accordingly, there are no problems with the voltage of 220 V, the diesel generator gives out power in excess. Comfortable cabins are not inferior in comfort to large cruise boats, a convenient navigator's seat, and on the other side the galley is not small in size. This boat cannot be called Puritan.
We go out to sea: slight hum of electric motors, and it feels like we are floating in air above water. Sharp floats provide excellent comfort on the wave. There are no nuances in raising the sails, everything is just like on a regular cruiser. Burning with impatience, we raised the mainsail in seconds, manually, without any winches.
What happened next can only be described in one word - pleasure. We enjoyed the wind, the sea and the yacht!
Setting the sails It didn’t take much time and after half a minute we accelerated the catamaran to 8 knots with a wind of 7.5 points, we were going in full hauled, 70 degrees. The speed was virtually unchanged up to 35 degrees! This is out of reach for a cruising catamaran! I sat on the windward side, the tiller did not break out of my hands, there was no tension in the boat's behavior.
Tacking passed very easily, I forgot to mention that we had an automatic jib, so we coped with the change of tacks together.
It should be noted that the wave height was approximately 0.8 m, but there was no splashing on the beam, the shape of the hulls was perfectly streamlined. This can be traced by the wake.
SIG 45 disposed to walking, instead of the planned two hours we ironed the bay all four. A couple of times we turned around a 42-foot cruise Katana sailing in full sail. Yes, this boat gives the joy of communicating with the sea, I don't want to get off it. We did not get yesterday's strong wind, but even in a weak catamaran behaved excellently. Greg, a shipyard worker, said that he accelerated and kept the speed on this catamaran at 29 knots, well, I tend to believe him.
SIG 45 conquers with its uncompromising attitude in everything. The high cost does not allow it to go mainstream, but it justifies all the money spent on it. Owning and maintaining order on a yacht is not a hassle. The catamaran perfectly keeps balance, sailing on it is safe for the family crew.

LeBreton SIG 45
N ow for a new kind of European boat. This cruising catamaran comes from the LeBreton yard in Amsterdam. The design work was done by three teams. The exterior styling, hull design and general naval architecture was done by Van Peteghem Lauriot Prevost in France. The interior design is by Bjorn Johansson in the UK. Technical support for the rig and deck layout came from Bruno Peyron.
The result is a spectacular design and just the kind of boat I would have loved to own back when I was 35 years old. Unlike most cruising catamarans, this cat does not use the bridgedeck area for accommodations. That allows for a dramatic reduction in displacement. This 45-foot cat weighs 12,000 pounds, less than half the displacement of the Lagoon 39 cruising cat. Clearly, this cat was designed with performance as the primary goal.
The hulls show a wave-piercing type of bow, and there is zero overhang in either the bow or the stern. In plan form the hulls are slightly asymmetrical flaring out inboard amidships to gain some internal volume. If I use this flared-out section for max beam I get an individual hull L/B of 6.23. Skinny hulls make for fast boats.
Overall beam is 27 feet 6 inches. The D/L for this boat is only 59.3 compared to 212 for the 39-foot Lagoon cat. The daggerboards are carbon and outboard in each hull, and give a board-down draft of 9 feet and a board up draft of 3 feet 10 inches due to rudder depth. The rudders are also carbon fiber.
The accommodation plan is spread into the two hulls with no accommodations in the bridgedeck area. The connecting span is just one big expanse of working "cockpit" area with seats outboard. In the port hull you have the owner's double berth aft in a spacious cabin. Forward of this there is a dinette that looks to fit four people. Forward of that is the galley and forward of that is a large head.
In the starboard hull you have double-berth cabins in each end, and a large head forward of the amidships office-type of area. I can't say this is a cozy layout where you will gather with friends on a blustery night in harbor. But it is comfortable and it works. There is just no way you can get a conventional-feeling layout into those long, narrow hulls. But I don't think buyers of this boat have convention in mind anyway. There are watertight bulkheads in each end of each hull.
The rig is big. The carbon fiber airfoil mast is rotating, and I think that given it is really part of the sail power of the rig we should include the mast area as sail area, adding 92 square feet. So, if I add that to the mainsail and the self-tacking jib I get a total sail area of 1,570 square feet and a SA/D of 49.7.
I think that's what I meant when I said I could have owned this boat when I was 35. You will have to be on your toes almost all the time sailing this boat. That is a lot of horsepower. Add the area of the asymmetrical chute and the SA/D goes through the roof. I have never sailed a cat quite like this one so I have no idea of what speeds you could expect but I'd guess in 12 to 15 knots of wind you could see 20 knots of speed with little effort.
On deck the mainsheet traveler spans the connecting beam at the stern. The boat is steered with surprisingly short tillers. Forward is a soft trampoline but aft the connecting deck is rigid and appears to have a teak planked veneer over at least part of it with the rest being nonskid paint.
Halyard winches are clustered at the mast base and I suspect the self-tacking jib sheet is controlled from this bank of winches also. There are three other sheet winches port and starboard aft at the steering stations. These winches also control the broad traveler. The daggerboards are line operated.
On a nice day with 12 knots of steady breeze and a flat sea this cat would be a real blast to sail.
