The French-origin portfolio in LYRA's catalogue is concentrated below 25 m / 82 ft and has a distinct catamaran presence. It contains 70 models from 21 represented shipyards, with a median listed price of €1.53M and a median length of 17.20 m / 56.4 ft. Forty-three records use a catamaran hull, while 50 are classed as Sailing and 20 as Motor.
Hull type and yacht category are separate catalogue fields, so those counts should not be added together. Their value is descriptive: France presents a notably different mix from a motor-led, monohull-heavy country portfolio.
French-origin yacht mix by hull type
In the French-origin report, this chart compares hull types across 70 models: 43 catamarans, 26 monohulls and one trimaran. Hull type sits alongside a sailing–motor split of 50 sailing and 20 motor records, making catamarans the largest part of the selection and showing particularly broad choice for buyers considering sailing multihulls.

Methodology
The analysis uses active LYRA catalogue records captured for 2026. Country means the recorded model origin. Listed prices are starting prices in EUR and may exclude options and taxes.
LYRA perspective
The most useful question here is which configuration serves the planned use, not which category total is larger. Consider time aboard, crew and guest requirements, sailing or motor preference and cruising pattern together. The data helps frame those choices, but does not turn a portfolio count into a recommendation.
