Broadblue 346 – tested and reviewed

Cruising multihulls in the sub-35ft bracket are surprisingly hard to come by.  fits the bill, however, as Sam Jefferson discovers

These days there is no shortage of multihulls in the plus 40ft bracket. A quick glance at our Boat News on p14 confirms that there is a plethora of spanking new shiny yachts in this size bracket being launched with remarkable regularity. Yes, multihulls are booming; yet despite this, there is surprisingly little on offer when you move down the size spectrum a touch. Quorning’s Dragonfly Yachts has carved out a nice little niche for performance cruisers, but when it comes to out and out cruisers, there is a real dearth of options.

Perhaps this explains Broadblue’s decision to revamp its successful 345, which has been given a makeover and is now the all-new 346. The 345 was launched all the way back in 2008 and was designed by Plymouth based multihull specialist Dazcats and was initially known as the Voyager 10 before she was acquired by Broadblue and rebranded the Broadblue 345. A decade on and she has had a full revamp, with an all new deck mould and tweaks to the interior layout. In the meantime the manufacturers have retained the features that have ensured that this yacht has a strong and loyal following.

Overall concept

The basic premise behind the 346 is that she is a comfortable family cruiser that can be easily handled by one or two people. Although performance is not necessarily a priority, her weight has been kept down to 4,800kg so she’s fairly light and boasts a decent spread of sail to push her along. One of the key factors in her design was that she was no more than 5m wide as this means you can take her through the French canals – an important consideration for those who don’t feel inclined to wrestle with the vagaries of the Bay of Biscay. That said, she is rated Category A, so there is no need to shy away from some more challenging sailing if you wish. She’s available either with twin 16 or 20hp diesel saildrives, or there is the cheaper option of a single outboard set into a well in the middle of the cockpit.

First impressions are pretty much what you would expect of a comfortable cruising multihull. You have to have a decent amount of freeboard, both to give the nacelle clearance from the water and give you decent volumes of accommodation. This all means that she joins most of her cruising multihull sisters in not being about to win a beauty contest any time soon. Nevertheless, there is a certain pleasing compactness to her shape.

The new deck mould features much more curvature to the deckhouse and that has really brought her looks bang up to date. Perhaps the most striking thing as you approach the 346 is her transom. The bathing platform stretches the full width of the transom and is at an enticing height to allow you to step aboard with the greatest of ease. It gives the boat a nice open and welcoming feel, while the step up to the cockpit means that you don’t feel at all exposed out at sea.

The cockpit itself is unfussy, uncomplicated and well thought out. The helming position is offset to port and offers an excellent view of the sails.

Aft of this is a seating area, while there is more seating on the starboard side plus a cockpit table. All sail controls are led to a bank of clutches located just to starboard of the companionway and ideally situated for the helmsman. They are well laid out with a good straight lead to the mast, minimising friction. A pair of winches can do all the work from here and on the yacht I tested one of the winches was electric which took all of the hard work out of hoisting the mainsail.

Stepping out on to side decks of a decent width, you head forward to a very roomy foredeck which is solid right to the bow which gives an even greater feeling of space.

There is a decent sized locker up here to store all your ropes and fenders in addition to further storage compartments beneath the cockpit sole.

There are removable davits set into the bathing platform for the dinghy and this is such a huge space that a modest dinghy could just be pulled up on to the platform and lashed in place on a coastal passage.

Stepping into the comfortable saloon of the 345, there was a tremendous feeling of space. In fact it’s not so much a feeling of space as a simple reality. It’s surprising that cruising cats are getting so large these days as one of the great things about a multihull is that you can get a huge amount of volume into a relatively modest waterline length. The saloon is a commodious space and there is a definite step up in the amount of joinery compared to the 345, with natural oak abounding, which gives a nice feel of quality. Down below the 346 has a nice uncomplicated, clean feel to her and while she is not stark, she feels low maintenance and uncluttered. There is a saloon table to port combined with ample bench seating augmented by some rather nifty flip-out stools. There is a fairly decent sized chart table which has excellent visibility forward and the L-shaped galley is situated aft of this and is simple with Corian work surfaces. Storage for all of your supplies is excellent.

The standard accommodation for this yacht is two large double aft cabins and a single cabin forward in the starboard hull as standard. The master cabin to starboard has an ensuite forward and there is the option to increase the number of berths by incorporating a single cabin amidships on the port side and if you really want to cram people in there is the option to fit a double berth in the saloon. The pair of double berths set aft in both hulls are something of an oddity compared to most multihulls, as they are quite distinctly raised up. This is to accommodate the twin diesels beneath, as in the past many small multihulls have circumvented this by placing the prop aft of the rudder. This might work well for providing extra volume but it makes the boat mighty hard to manoeuvre. As it is, the layout works rather well as it gives a nice feeling of space when combined with the large aft hatch, which gives you an excellent view from your bedroom window. The other consequence is that access to the engine is excellent.

The owner’s ensuite was quite unusual as the first thing you are confronted with when you step in this relatively narrow space is the toilet, with the shower set right forward in the bow. This seems a bit baffling, although it works just fine and is apparently due to the width constraints in here at waterline level due to the substantial ‘step’ in the hulls. It’s a light and roomy enough space and although it initially feels illogical, it works very well. There is also the option of a second head in the forward berth on the port side, which would make this an excellent yacht for two couples.

We tested the 346 on a blustery, bright march day on Chichester Harbour with a breeze as sharp as a razor and a clarity of light that made you feel like the contrast had been turned up. The wind was all over the place inside the harbour but blew at anything between 15 and 25kt, generally erring on the 20kt plus side of things. This meant we were in for a brisk sail and we opted to put a single reef in the mainsail. It also meant that her flat cut Code 0 was not going to be necessary. This, however, would undoubtedly be an extremely useful sail in breezes below 10kt.

It has also been cleverly set up so that the Code 0 sheets can be led via a thimble to the main winches on the coachroof. This saves on setting winches outboard and means that you can still control everything from the helm. Recent trends have seen many manufacturers setting their masts well aft as this gives the headsail more power and cuts out on pitching. The Broadblue was evidently ahead of her time as she had this configuration even in 2008 and it has been retained in the 346.

We headed off down the Emsworth Channel and were soon storming along at 8.5kt and topped out at 9.4kt, which is not bad going. In common with most cruising multihulls, she featured hydraulic steering but this had substantially more feel than on some models I have handled and after a brief period of adjustment I found her responsive. She also has a decent turn of speed as below the water that big step in the hull means there isn’t a great deal holding her back. Combine that with a modest displacement and you have a nice recipe for speed – particularly in the 25kt gusts. Predictably, she neither pointed as high as a monohull in the same cruising genre nor did she tack as crisply. Yet she performed both tasks competently and she was also utterly unruffled in the sort of conditions where a 34ft monohull would simply be screaming along on her ear.

Sam’s verdict

It was quite clear to me that the Broadblue 346 has come about as the result of a long period of evolution which has ensured that the current model has been carefully and thoughtfully refined. There were certainly no teething problems and this was a yacht that immediately inspired confidence. In common with most of her cruising multihull sisters, looks are not her strongest asset, but she does make up for that with the cleverness and simplicity of her layout combined with impressive accommodation.

In terms of handling, she was lively and handled boisterous conditions with the greatest of ease. Ultimately, if you’re after a cruising catamaran in this size bracket, look no further. In part because there are precious few options – and this yacht is excellent.

The Most Beautiful Stations on the Moscow Metro

You might have heard that there are some beautiful metro stations in Moscow. Soviet decorations, chandeliers, mosaic painting and statues are common in many of the stations. The good news is that the Moscow Metro does not cost a lot of money and many of the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro are on the same line, so you can almost get on and off at each station to visit these. Over the New Year holidays, I had a free afternoon and decided to visit some of these stations. Check out what I found below…..

The main stations that you will want to visit are on the Number 5 line, also known as the Circle Line. An advantage of this line is that you can get to it very easily and quickly no matter where you are in Moscow. The announcements on the metro are in Russian as well as English so you don’t need to worry if your Russian language skills are not good.

If, like me, you arrive in Moscow via train from Kyiv , then you will arrive at a metro station which many Muscovites believe to be the most beautiful of them all…..

Kievskaya metro station was opened in 1954 and features white marble walls which curve upwards and have with large mosaics surrounded by a gold trim in a very classical style. The mosaics depict life in Ukraine and was designed by a Ukrainian who wanted to display Ukraine’s influence and contribution to Soviet Russia.

People carrying flags is a common theme

Going into battle

Belorusskaya

If you look at a map of the metro , you will want to go in a clockwise direction on the circle line. So you will want to get on the train going in the Barrikadnaya direction and not Park Kultury. Stay on this line until you reach the 2nd station, Belorusskaya. This station was built in 1952 and like Kievskaya also features white marble pylons and a plaster ceiling.

The ceiling features 12 mosaics in an octagonal shape depicting Belarusian life, while the tiling on the floor is said to resemble a Belarusian quilt. One of the passageway exits of the station has a statue called ‘Belarusian Partisans’ of three men wearing long coats, holding guns and carrying a flag.”

Mayakovskaya

To get to the next station, we need to change onto the green line (line 2) and go just one stop to the station of Mayakovskaya. This station has an art deco theme and, for some, resembles an elaborate ballroom. The columns are faced with stainless steel and pink rhodonite while the marble walls and ceiling have 34 mosaics with the theme “24-hour Soviet Sky. Apparently, Stalin resided here during the 2nd World War as the station was used as a command post for Moscow’s anti-aircraft regiment.

Novoslobodskaya

It’s time to get back on the metro and return to Belorusskaya. At Belorusskaya, change to the circle line again and continue clockwise to the next station, Novoslobodskaya. With its 32 stained glass panels, this station reminds me of a church. The panels were designed by Latvian artists and are surrounded by a brass border.

The golden trim around artwork is also very common

Prospekt Mira

Back on the metro and again just one stop until our next station, Prospekt Mira. This station was originally called Botanichesky Sad after the nearby Botanical Gardens of the Moscow State University. The pylons are covered in white marble and decorated with floral bas-relief friezes. The ceiling is decorated with casts and several cylindrical chandeliers.

Notice the floral decoration

Komsomolskaya

On the metro once more and once more we are going just one stop to the next station – Komsomolskaya. This station is famous for its its yellow ceiling. The chandeliers in this station are huge. The photos below do not do this station justice.  For me, this station resembles a presidential palace.  You hace to see it for yourself to truly appreciate it.

Because of it’s location, this is one of the busiest stations in the Moscow metro as it serves three of the main train stations in the city – Leningradsky, Yaroslavsky, and Kazansky so be prepared for a lot of people.

The yellow ceiling seems to go on forever

Elektrozavodskaya

When you are ready to leave Komsomolskaya metro station behind, then get back on the circle line and go one stop to Kurskaya and change to the blue line (line 3) and go to two stops to the Elektrozavodskaya station. This station gets it’s name from a nearby electric light bulb factory and has a somewhat industrial but also futuristic style, with 6 rows of circular lamps (there are 318 lamps in total). I think this is one of the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro for how unique it is. The station was opened in 1944 after a delay because of the 2nd World War and features 12 marble bas-reliefs of the struggle on the home front during the war.

Ploschad Revolyutsii

Back on the metro line 3 (but in the other direction), getting off at the 3rd stop – Ploschad Revolyutsii (Revolution Square). This is located underneath the square in Moscow of the same name and is a short walk from Red Square in the city centre. It is the perfect place to end a visit around Moscow’s metro. The station features red and yellow marble arches with a total of 76 sculptures in between each arch. The sculptures are supposed to represent the people of the Soviet Union and include soldiers, farmers, industrial workers, children etc… I noticed a lot of people touching the golden chicken in the photo below as well as the show of the woman. I am assuming that this is for good luck.

These are some of what I think are the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro. Which ones are your favourite? Would you add any to this list?

Kievskaya definitely caught me off guard. Didn’t know Moscow metro stations were THIS extravagant! Mayakovskaya is gorgeous too with the marble walls and mosaics. I might just need to book a flight over to admire all of these!

Do it! Kievskaya was my first introduction to the Moscow metro as I got an overnight train from Kyiv.

You know, in the States, all we ever hear is bad stuff about Russia. It’s nice to see other (and lovely!) dimensions of such a controversial place.

It’s the same in the UK which is why I prefer going to see somewhere and making up my own mind. It’s all ‘politics and bullshit’ as I say

I went to Moscow about 13years for Christmas and went to train stations, so I can see these amazing mosaics and chandeliers. I agree with you that are beautiful Stations for sure and I could of wandered around for days. I think Kievskaya is definitely my favourite out of them all and I even have some similar pictures as you.

I imagine Moscow would have been a little different 13 years ago but these stations have probably always looked beautiful

Food and Footprints

You chose some great stations for this write up! Beautiful details in these stations and would love to visit them sometime. Particularly like the Komsomolskaya station with that yellow ceiling!

Thank you very much. Komsomolskaya seems to be a lot of peoples favourite stations too

Sumit Surai

Wow! Without the text I would have thought them to be some museum or gallery.

I know exactly what you mean!

Rosie Fluskey

Wow, it is just stunning! How does anyone get to work with so much to look at. I’m surprised at the very bourgeois-looking Komsomolskaya station. I would have thought it was all too Tzarist looking, but then I haven’t been to Russia yet lol. This has just made me want to go more!

Wow, that’s a lot of artwork. I wonder how old some of these pieces are?

Generally most of the stations are from 1940-1960 approximately. The later stations are more functional than style.

My mother-in-law was in Moscow fifty years ago and still raves about the metro stations. So far, I could not imagine much. But now! The pictures are great and I think it’s almost a pity that this splendor is underground. But for every user of the Metro can enjoy a free trip to the world of art. Susanne

True. It is like having a free trip to an art museum/gallery. I hope that you can one day visit Moscow and see for yourself.

Oh wow, I would never have known that these were metro stations. The ceilings remind me of how you need to look up sometimes, even in the commuter rush!

It is true about life in general, we just go from A to B looking directly in front of us instead of around us

Wow, I would have never guessed that these were stations. The decor is so pretty and not one I’m used to seeing at metro stations. Love the ceiling at The Komsomolskaya metro station.

They certainly don’t look like metro stations. The ceiling there is one of my favourites too!

Broadblue 346

The Broadblue 346 is an ideal catamaran for families and couples, this model is small enough to make a passage through the French canals, but robust enough to carry a Category A (Ocean) status, all with 2m headroom throughout the boat.

The spacious accommodation includes two large double aft cabins and a single cabin forward as standard. This can be extended by incorporating a single cabin amidships on the port side and a saloon conversion for the double berth.

When combined with the optional second head this allows up to 8 people to sleep aboard and enjoy facilities of two heads and two showers, all in a 10m catamaran. The 346 is a beautifully crafted catamaran, whose predecessors have sailed all over the World.
