Privilège confirms the specific yacht bound for Annapolis
Privilège Marine has confirmed that the Signature 510 named TicLuna will be available to inspect at the Annapolis Sailboat Show from October 15 to 18, 2026. The French builder's official event announcement invites visitors to arrange private appointments, making this a chance to view an identifiable sailing yacht rather than simply discuss an unbuilt concept.
The model is aimed at owners considering long-distance cruising without maintaining a permanent professional crew. Its design emphasises protected helming, generous living accommodation and the service access needed when a couple or family spends extended periods at sea.
Annapolis is also hosting other sailing catamarans in the 12-to-16-metre range, allowing buyers to compare the Signature 510 with smaller and less customised alternatives. This appearance is not being described by the builder as a new world launch, and the show notice does not announce any sale of TicLuna.
The 510 sits in the compact luxury multihull segment
The builder publishes a length overall of 15.24 metres, a 7.98-metre beam and a draft of 1.57 metres for its Signature 510. That broad platform creates very different living possibilities from those aboard a 15-metre monohull, but berth selection and the ability to find suitable lifting facilities require additional attention.
Privilège describes a Marc Lombard naval-architecture design and an interior developed with Darnet Design. The exterior layout is intended to enable short-handed operation, with a protected steering position and straightforward movement towards the foredeck and main sail-control equipment.
Published sail area is about 165 square metres, with a main and genoa supplemented by a staysail arrangement. An optional gennaker provides additional sail area for favourable conditions, but sail selection and safe handling limits must be considered alongside the expected size and experience of the sailing crew.
A forward full-beam owner suite is a distinguishing feature
One of the Signature 510's defining choices is to position a full-beam owner's suite forward within the bridgedeck structure. This provides an expansive private room and broad external views, making an unusually spacious owner's area available within a yacht that remains under the 24-metre market boundary.
Privilège offers three- and four-cabin layouts, creating a choice between additional privacy and greater accommodation for friends or family. The builder also emphasises substantial storage and a saloon intended to support everyday life rather than just entertaining when moored.
For a long passage, a buyer should inspect how the accommodation performs when the yacht is moving, including the availability of handholds and access to water, pumps and electrical panels. A beautifully appointed cabin remains useful only when the vessel's service systems can be maintained efficiently.
What to examine aboard TicLuna
The manufacturer's published figures include light displacement around 17 tonnes, rising to approximately 25 tonnes fully loaded, with two 80hp diesel engines listed for the standard design. The difference between light and loaded figures is a reminder that water, fuel, stores, cruising gear and tender equipment all influence sailing performance.
Owners should ask about the precise equipment installed on TicLuna, since a particular yacht may have different batteries, generators, sails and personal modifications. The generic model specification cannot be assumed to describe every system aboard the vessel on display.
Annapolis visitors may also want to compare the position of the helm, visibility around the catamaran's wide bows and the ease of boarding in changing tide or wind. Those factors are particularly important for an owner who plans to handle berthing and anchoring without professional assistance.
The builder's invitation specifically names TicLuna, while the photograph accompanying this article is a genuine Signature 510 at sea from Privilège's official yacht gallery. It illustrates the design, without claiming that the image was taken during the October 2026 Annapolis exhibition.
