Trimaran Sail Fast. In addition trimarans with centreboards possess greater agility are easier to tack and they point better upwind than catamarans. This special foiling trimaran was designed at the end of 2015.
The Rapido 40 The Worlds Ultimate Folding Cruising Trimaran The countdown is on. You are almost as good upwind as a monohull have more waterline length so your Froude numbers are higher and you will naturally go faster. Most of the time we made true wind speed.
If you are interested in speed in most sailing conditions trimarans are a better answer than the other two above.
Also known as a double outrigger the arrangement is specifically comprised of a main hull with two smaller hulls that are attached by lateral beams. Of course high speed requires that the boat should have low drag and this is achieved with the narrow hulls of the trimaran and the lift of the hydrofoils. Very impressing at 5 kn - all other sailers got their sails down and motored - and we sailed with 5 kn true speed over ground -. The all new Rapido 40 Trimaran will be launched in June 2021 with the first going to Thailand.
