The International Multihull Show 2026

From April 22 to 26, 2026, the coastal town of La Grande-Motte will host the 17th edition of the International Multihull Show, the world's leading event dedicated exclusively to catamarans and trimarans. This year's edition opens a new chapter focused on innovation and sustainability, featuring a growing presence of electric multihulls and eco-design solutions. We are thrilled to accompany the highly anticipated European debut of the innovative Earthling E40 at this premier stage.

Earthling E40: Smart Navigation

The Earthling E40 is a 12-meter electric catamaran designed from the ground up as a complete energy platform, capable of maintaining an optimal cruising speed of 10 knots. Its "sailing without sails" philosophy frees users from wind dependency and engine noise, offering a practical, calm, and predictable boating experience. Furthermore, the vessel proves that electric boating is an accessible reality today, as it can be safely charged using standard 7kW marina shore power without the need to wait for specialized infrastructure.

E-THOS Technology

At the heart of the Earthling E40 is the E-THOS system, an intelligent digital platform that seamlessly integrates and optimizes energy from batteries, electric propulsion, and solar input in real time. This smart management significantly reduces reliance on shore charging thanks to continuous solar energy harvesting—an advantage that shines particularly in Mediterranean conditions. All components operate in a coordinated and fully redundant manner to ensure maximum efficiency, reliability, and a dramatically simpler user interface.
