trimaran xove

Los caprichos de la geología convierten a Xove en uno de los exponentes más singulares de la naturaleza que se prodiga por A Mariña Lucense. 

La  cascada do Pozo da Ferida  y los  Acantilados de Papel  se llevan parte del merecido protagonismo. Es u na de las zonas del litoral de Galicia que no ha sucumbido al gran turismo. 

La  Senda Costera de Xove  recorre   el faro de Roncadoira, las ruinas de San Tirso, la isla de Asarón y numerosas playas con Esteiro a la cabeza.

Sin olvidar el gran  Camino Natural del Cantábrico, la ruta de los molinos y de las hadas.   En Xove se cría uno de los mejores percebes de Galicia , y es punto de la Ruta Galicia Birding .

Una escapada diferente y sorprendente.

¿Qué ver y hacer en Xove?

1. ACANTILADOS DE PAPEL

El arte del origami en piedra.

Los acantilados de Papel desfilan por la franja litoral desde el cabo de Morás hasta la punta Roncadoira creando uno de los lugares más curiosos y sorprendentes del litoral de Galicia. 

Pasado el Portiño de Morás se toma dirección hacia el cabo homónimo hasta ver un cementerio de rocas con dolos y bloques de hormigón desparramados. Restos de la construcción de la escollera del puerto de la empresa de aluminio en los años 70.

trimaran xove

Al fondo de este escenario singular, se esconde una gran sorpresa: una pared vertical de granito de 32 de altura en el Cabo de Morás.

Afilada, cortada y esculpida por el viento y la lluvia con el mejor de los cinceles, da lugar a caprichosas formaciones en piedra que recuerdan a las esculturas del arte del origami . 

trimaran xove

Así se han ganado el bautizo de   Acantilados de papel, y se han consolidado como  uno de los emblemas de esta parte de la costa  de Lugo . 

Este monumento geológico natural está protegido como   LIC (Lugar de Importancia Comunitaria).

trimaran xove

Con  más de 6.000 años de historia  a sus espaldas,   Xove  es de esos puntos de la Mariña que se han visto eclipsados por fenómenos turísticos próximos como la  Playa de las Catedrales  o el  Fuciño do Porco .

Sin duda dos obras de la naturaleza dignas de ver, pero bastante masificadas, sobre todo en temporada alta.

Aquellos viajeros que buscan lugares menos concurridos pero igual de extraordinarios, encontrarán en Xove un lugar perfecto para una escapada auténtica que supera expectativas.

trimaran xove

2. DOLOS DE MORÁS

Antigua factoría ballenera.

El entorno del Cabo Morás nos habla de la antigua factoría ballenera, a través de un paraje curioso y extravagante , que recuerda a un escenario de ciencia ficción o de Mad Max.

El paseo marítimo de Morás discurre frente a la playa de O Portiño hasta el propio puerto, atravesando la antigua zona de fabricación de dolos.

Enormes figuras de hormigón en forma de martillo salpican el espacio, dejando una estampa de lo más pintoresco, ideal para los amantes de la fotografía.

Estas estructuras quedaron abandonadas tras la construcción de un gran dique para el puerto industrial, que necesitaba la empresa de aluminio de San Cibrao.

trimaran xove

La factoría fue la más moderna de la península ibérica (1965-1977), y testigo del importante pasado ballenero e industrial de Xove. Una de las últimas en cerrar en España con actividad hasta 2015.

trimaran xove

Un  proyecto de recuperación paisajística  le ha devuelto a la vida turística.  Las edificaciones de hormigón dan paso a un paseo etnográfico compuesto de una senda peatonal señalizada con paneles ilustrativos de la historia de Xove.

El Monumento de Dolos de Morás es su mayor símbolo con su hilera de martillos en piedra y una nota de color.

trimaran xove

3. SENDA COSTERA DE XOVE

18 kms de costa salvaje y naturaleza .

La Senda Costera de Xove nos regala 18 kms de costa salvaje con un sendero poco transitado, todo un lujo hoy en día.  Una  ruta de senderismo de dificultad media, que recorre todo el litoral costero de Xove.  

El monumento de los Dolos al salir de O Portiño, los afamados acantilados de papel, castros prerromanos como el Coto de la Vela, el yacimiento arqueológico de San Tirso y miradores espectaculares como el Mirador de Oriente y el Mirador de Poniente.

Una caminata de lo más completa.

trimaran xove

La isla de Sarón y otros islotes menores nos acompañan durante gran parte del camino, mientras  el Faro de Punta Roncadoira pone la luz al escenario. La arena y el salitre corre a cargo de numerosas playas como: Morás, Sucastro, Portocelo, Coído, Muiñelo y Esteiro.

trimaran xove

Se trata de una ruta lineal y se puede recorrer en los dos sentidos. En el parque etnográfico de la ballenera está el panel informativo sobre el sendero, que se suele tomar como punto de inicio en esa zona del Portiño de Morás.

La otra salida es la pista de acceso a la playa de Portonovo, entre los ayuntamientos de Xove y Viveiro. Ahí también existe otro panel informativo, ambos tienen códigos QR que se descarga en el móvil con la aplicación Wikiloc.

Toda la senda está bien señalizada , a veces transcurre por el Camino Natural del Cantábrico, otros por carretera asfaltada en Portocelo y Ceranzos, o por nuevos senderos habilitados.

trimaran xove

RUTA DE LOS MOLINOS

Un sendero más corto y sencillo es la ruta de los Molinos  desde a Ponte Barxa hasta a Ponte do Carro  por un hermoso paisaje fluvial por las riberas del río Rigueira hasta Regosangüento. Un recorrido de 7Km salpicado por antiguos molinos y rodeados de naturaleza.

Al final del sendero se encuentra el área recreativa de San Antonio y la iglesia de Rigueira.  Es una ruta lineal, no circular.

También puedes hacer la Ruta de las Hadas  o el exigente   Camino Natural del Cantábrico   que bordea toda la línea de costa.

4. ISLA DE ANSARÓN (O SARÓN)

Uno de los mejores percebes de galicia .

Esta isla es la más conocida de la costa de Xove, aunque no la única. Mide 83 metros de altitud y cuenta con una superficie de diez hectáreas, lo que la convierten en una de las más grandes de A Mariña Lucense.

En sus acantilados se cría uno de los mejores percebes de Galicia , y en su entorno vive una gran población de gaviota patiamarilla. Este enclave es una importante zona migratoria de aves marinas. Enfrente se ubican la isla de As Salseiras.

trimaran xove

Como curiosidad, su nombre oficial de la isla es  Ansarón , pero el uso popular de Sarón  está tan normalizado que el instituto de secundaria de Xove se llama I.E.S. Isla de Sarón.

OTRAS ISLAS E ISLOTES

  • Isla Coelleira
  • Islotes de Os Netos
  • Insua da Cal
  • Os Farallóns

5. FARO DE RONCADOIRA

Ruta galicia birding.

Se eleva 94 metros sobre el nivel de mar, y aunque está muy próximo a la Estaca de Bares, y al faro de San Cibrao, su construcción se hizo urgente debido al alto número de naufragios. La combinación de paredes vertiginosas de granito, oleaje poderoso, fuertes temporales y espesas nieblas era mortal. 

El faro de Roncadoiro comenzó a dar luz en el año 1984, aunque no funcionaría de forma definitiva hasta el dos años más tarde.  Punto clave dentro de la ruta de A Mariña de Lugo del Galicia Birding , para observar aves de monte bajo, especialmente durante los pasos migratorios.

trimaran xove

Su mirador nos deja espectaculares vistas  de la ría de Viveiro, de las islas e islotes como Sarón, y de la inmensidad del mar Cantábrico hasta el cabo de Estaca de Bares, donde se une al océano Atlántico.

trimaran xove

Uno de los mejores sitios para ver un atardecer en la costa de Xove, escapando de los acantilados de papel donde se reúne la mayor parte de la gente en la puesta de sol.

trimaran xove

6. MIRADOR DO CASTELO

El banco más bonito de xove .

Este acantilado de 133 metros de altitud, con el faro de Roncadoira a sus pies, nos regala una magnífica vista sobre el mar Cantábrico. Su topónimo indica la existencia de una fortificación medieval  de la que no quedan vestigios.

El Monte Castelo presume de verticales y afiladas paredes de granito, adornadas por matorrales de tojo y brezo, bosques y pastos.  Está protegido como Red Natura 2000 , y los acantilados distinguidos también como Lugar de Importancia Comunitaria (LIC) y Zona de Especial Protección de Aves (ZEPA).

El sendero está señalizado y parte del faro de Roncadoira hacia el monte. Siguiendo la costa y antes de llegar a la playa de Esteiro, el mirador Punta da Mansa también ofrece una panorámica estupenda. Más cerca del Cabo de Morás se ubica el mirador de la Atalaya Gepeto.

trimaran xove

Elementos del Monte Castelo

  • BANCO MIRADOR NACIENTE: banco en la orilla oriental del monte que ofrece una preciosa vista del amanecer detrás de los acantilados de Morás y de la isla de Sarón.
  • BANCO MIRADOR PONIENTE: banco en la ladera occidental del monte por donde se pone el sol detrás de un horizonte recortado por Estaca de Bares, la punta más septentrional de España.
  • PENA SOMBREIREIRA: una roca con apariencia de sombrero en la ladera oriental, que forma una pequeña cueva donde antiguamente se abrigaban los pastores.
  • ZOOLÓGICO DE PIEDRA: existen cavidades y formas caprichosas moldeadas por la erosión, como si fuesen esculturas en piedra de animales. Hay un panel con las coordenadas de las figuras.

trimaran xove

MIRADOR A MEDELA

En Xove se identifica con el Monte Medulio, citado como el lugar donde batallaron los últimos guerreros galaicos en el año 22 a.C. frente a las legiones romanas. Un capítulo que terminó con el suicidio colectivo antes de la rendición ante el Imperio.

Puede que los romanos alzaran en la ladera de esta montaña un altar a Júpiter para conmemorar la victoria , y podría explicar el origen del topónimo y de Xove.

El Monte Medela se ubica entre las parroquias de A Rigueira y Lago. Desde la cumbre de unos 350 metros se divisa todo el valle, los montes do Buio y la Serra do Xistral, alcanzando hasta Estaca de Bares, la península de San Cibrao y el embalse de Riocobo.

trimaran xove

OTROS MIRADORES DE XOVE

Antes de llegar a la playa de Esteiro, el  mirador Punta da Mansa  también ofrece una panorámica estupenda. Más cerca del Cabo de Morás se ubica también el  mirador de la Atalaya Gepeto.

La mejor recomendación es realizar alguna de las rutas de senderismo que se convierten en auténticos miradores naturales.

CÓMO LLEGAR

Se accede desde la carretera N-642, saliendo de Xove en dirección Burela, en Beltrán (Lago), frente al campo de fútbol, tomando a mano derecha el cruce en dirección a Vila, y a menos de un kilómetro se gira a la izquierda por una pista asfaltada. En 2 kilómetros llegarás a la cima del monte.

trimaran xove

7. PAU DA VELLA

El punto más alto del ayuntamiento – 704m .

El Pau da Vella es el punto más alto del ayuntamiento de Xove con 704 metros de altura, situado en la Serra do Buio y en la parroquia de San Isidoro de Monte.  Al llegar a la iglesia de San Isidoro hay que seguir las indicaciones del panel informativo. 

En la cumbre de este mirador se encuentra una cruz de granito de un metro de altura, que funciona como marco divisorio entre los municipios de Cervo, Ferreira de Valadouro, Viveiro y Xove.  La ruta de senderismo Monte-Pau da Vella es un sendero circular de 10 km.

Se desconoce el origen del monumento, pero hay teorías que la consideran un ara dedicada a los dioses en un antiguo camino romano y que fue adoptada por el cristianismo. 

trimaran xove

8. RUINAS DE SAN TIRSO

Antiguo castro de san tirso.

Xove es uno de los municipios con más castros de la comunidad gallega , un total de nueve registrados en el Catálogo de Patrimonio de la Xunta.

El castro de San Tirso se denomina Castro de Portocelo o de Punta Mechiluíde, por el nombre del cabo en el que se ubica. 

Se encuentra en la ensenada de Portocelo, a unos minutos del faro, y solo se aprecian las paredes de la capilla de San Tirso, del cementerio y de las murallas defensivas. 

VESTIGIOS DE UN CASTRO

En este paraje espectacular hubo un castro prerromano alrededor del año 1200 a.C., del que se conserva el foso defensivo y parte del recinto amurallado.

trimaran xove

Este castro fue cristianizado en el siglo VIII d. C. con la fundación de un monasterio   dedicado a San T irs o. Tocaba  extender su culto y asegurar los territorios reconquistados a los musulmanes por los reyes asturianos. 

En el siglo XII todavía mantenía su condición monacal, según los documentos registrados en el Archivo de la Catedral de Mondoñedo.

trimaran xove

Hoy en día solo quedan las ruinas de la capilla de San Tirso, levantada sobre los restos del convento en el siglo XVII, que funcionó como iglesia parroquial hasta que se construyó la actual en la aldea de Vilachá.

El ayuntamiento de Xove compró el terreno de las murallas y del foso en 2018 para proyectar las primeras prospecciones arqueológicas.

LEYENDA DE SAN TIRSO

Según cuenta la leyenda, a los pies del acantilado donde se alza la ermita, llegó el cuerpo descuartizado del Santo en una barca de piedra. Dicen que durante la bajamar se divisa en el rompiente.

trimaran xove

9. PLAYA DE PORTOCELO

Resguardada y familiar.

A un par de minutos en coche de las ruinas de San Tirso aparece la playa de Portocelo enmarcado en un acogedor puerto pesquero rodeado de montañas verdes y de árboles que llegan hasta la arena.

De ambiente familiar, tiene escaso oleaje y forma de concha, lo que la resguarda del viento. 

trimaran xove

Con marea llena se divide en dos arenales: Portocelo y Canelas. La playa está considerada como un lugar ideal para la práctica pesquera así como otros deportes acuáticos como el submarinismo.

Esta playa dispone de área de descanso, aparcamiento, servicio de limpieza, baños y duchas.

trimaran xove

10. PLAYA DE ESTEIRO

La playa de Esteiro es la más famosa de Xove, salvaje y no masificada, se rodea de un paraje poco urbanizado, lo que le confiere mucho encanto. Unos 400 metros de longitud con arena blanca y fina.

Está considerada como una de las playas referentes en la práctica del surf del litoral de A Mariña. En la playa desarrolla su actividad una escuela de surf, en unas aguas que además suelen gozar de bandera azul.  Desde el año 2017 se celebra aquí el campeonato Open de Surf de Esteiro, que puntúa en el campeonato gallego de surf.

Junto con la contigua playa de Muiñelo, presumen de ser arenales con poca gente en plena temporada alta. Un lujo impagable para los que buscan tranquilidad y paseos enmarcados en naturaleza y salitre. 

trimaran xove

Otras playas

PLAYA O PORTIÑO DE MORÁS.   Pequeña playa de arena blanca y pocas olas, algo ventosa en el entorno portuario de Morás frente al paseo marítimo. Dispone de servicio de limpieza, baños y duchas.  Mide unos 650 metros de longitud. 

PLAYA DE MUIÑELO.   Es una playa estacional que aparece en temporadas estivales, cuando no hay grandes temporales que arrastran la arena de este pedregal. Con el verano la arena se acumula, cambiando por completo el paisaje.

PLAYA DE LAGO.   A su alrededor cuenta con zonas de jardín y un conjunto dunar importante. Tiene un amplio aparcamiento, áreas de descanso y dispone de un importante número de servicios.

PLAYA DA COVA . S ituada en la parroquia de Morás, entre las playas de Lago y O Portiño, es la única canina del municipio de Xove. Tiene u nos 70 metros de longitud y no cuenta con servicio de vigilancia.

trimaran xove

11. CASCADA POZO DA FERIDA

A pesar de ser un territorio principalmente costero, en Xove encontramos dos cascadas magníficas. La primera es la  Pozo da Ferida,  rodeada de exuberante vegetación autóctona nos regala un paraje de cuento donde seguro viven mouras y mouros . Y quizás alguna meiga también.

Se ubica entre los municipios de Viveiro y Xove, en el cauce del río Loureiro. El salto de agua cuenta con una altura de 30 metros y cae de forma vertical formando una poza natural rodeada de vegetación autóctona.

trimaran xove

Al llegar al lugar de Loureiro aparece la señal de la cascada. Seguimos por una pista asfaltada, pasamos por un pequeño puente, y junto a unas casas abandonadas dejamos el coche. 

Hay un sendero a mano derecha y comenzamos a caminar. Pronto escuchamos el sonido del agua del río y comienza un corto pero acusado descenso. El estruendo acuático nos acompaña con el telón de fondo de verdes montañas. 

trimaran xove

Al cabo de 400 metros llegamos al Pozo da Ferida, tropezando primero con las ruinas de una vieja y rudimentaria central hidroeléctrica. Los árboles engullen las paredes de la fábrica sin compasión.

En sólo quince minutos de caminata nos hemos adentrado en un laberinto mágico de agua, musgo y enredaderas. La humedad sube a medida que aumenta la belleza del entorno.

trimaran xove

De repente se abre una estampa idílica: al pequeño lago que forman las cascadas le siguen los rápidos que van río abajo, todo decorado con una naturaleza de fantasía . Vegetación frondosa que parece sacada de una fábula de la infancia, componen el espectáculo paisajístico.

Por un lado la cascada de Pozo da Ferida luce su velo largo y maravilloso , mientras enfrente su dama de honor le ayuda a vestir la escena en plano secundario. Los dos torrentes hilvanan la laguna donde perfectamente podrían vivir sapos encantados .

Una de las cascadas más bonitas y coquetas de Galicia.

trimaran xove

12. CASCADA DE GUILÁN

En Xove hay más cascadas aunque de menor tamaño que pueden ser interesantes para incluir en las ruta. La de Guilán es otra de las que merece la pena.

Con  un gran salto de agua de más de 70 metros de alto repartidos en tres caídas diferentes que forman grandes pozas naturales en cada una de ellas. Se llega tomando una pista cercana al polígono industrial de Camba.

trimaran xove

13. MUSEO CARPINTERÍA DE RIBEIRA

La carpintería de ribeira engloba al arte de hacer barcos en madera de manera artesanal, y en eso Galicia tiene una gran trayectoria. Un valor de país no siempre reconocido como merece.

Uno de los referentes en este sector está en Cervo (Xove): Francisco Fra es la séptima generación de carpinteros de ribeira de su familia.  Entrar en su pequeño astillero es adentrarse en una  tienda de  antigüedades y en una máquina del tiempo. 

trimaran xove

De las paredes cuelgan escuadras y fotos antiguas de su bisabuelo, sobre las mesas lápices y todo tipo de herramientas para fabricar y reparar embarcaciones. Una estancia donde el tiempo parece detenerse.

El taller  funciona como museo , especialmente en temporada alta de turismo. Hay que concertar visita y enterarse de los horarios con anterioridad. 

Desde aquí reivindicamos la puesta en valor de oficios artesanales que llevan detrás un gran conocimiento impagable que desaparecerá en pocos años. Ese  que otros países salvaguardan con formaciones académicas, actividades turísticas y otros proyectos que potencian la artesanía.

De los primeros pobladores destacaremos la existencia de Mámoas datadas entre el 3500-1500 a.c. en Monte, A Rigueira, Xove y Xuances, así como los  CASTROS DE ILLADE  (mencionar la Fíbula de bronce S.I-IV d.c. aquí encontrada y que se conserva en el  Museo Provincial de Lugo );  SUMOAS Y COTO DA VELA , de los 11 que existen.

De la arquitectura religiosa nombra las iglesia de  SANTA BAIA DE LAGO (s. XVII);  IGLESIA DE   XUANCES  (con un escudo en piedra de los duques de Alburquerque que patrocinaron su construcción en 1698);  IGLESIA DE XOVE , (que conserva en su interior un retablo salomónico del siglo XVII y otro renacentista del siglo XVI).

En arquitectura civil y popular, el  Pazo de A Rigueira  y los  hórreos  de A Barxa y Vilachá.   Un importante  patrimonio arqueológico  en el que sobresalen el  Petroglifo do Monte, el Círculo de Lavandeiras y la Mámoa de Guilán ,  además de sus castros.  

La mitología romana bautizó el municipio con el nombre de su principal deidad,  Júpiter . El topónimo procede de una antigua  VILLA IOVII , villa de Júpiter, que posiblemente tuvo un templo después de la conquista de los romanos. 

MAPA CON TODA LA RUTA 

Os dejamos un mapa con todas las paradas de la ruta que hemos visto en este artículo. Una mirada por encima es suficiente para ver que Xove es un lugar sorprendente desde la costa salvaje a su interior verde.

Monumentalidad natural en un territorio todavía desconocido para muchos en A Mariña Lucense.

Los estudios realizados confirmaron que el yacimiento es de planta circular tipo ‘ henge’, una estructura prehistórica, del Neolítico, circular o ovalada, similar a “Roda de Barreiros”.

Su cronología se remonta, cuando menos, a la Edad del Bronce tardía. Esta tesis, precisa la Xunta, “queda confirmada por variedad de evidencias estructurales exhumadas que nos indican la creación de un espacio circular bien delimitado”. A este carácter constructivo hay que sumar el carácter ocupacional del recinto, ratificado, entre otras evidencias, por los materiales localizados -básicamente fragmentos cerámicos-, “los cuáles nos remiten de nuevo a la fase media y final de la Edad del Bronce”. Actualmente se están haciendo trabajos de su puesta en valor.

6 Best Trailerable Trimarans For Bluewater and Coastal Sailing

trimaran xove

As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. We may also earn commissions if you purchase products from other retailers after clicking on a link from our site.

Having a boat costs a lot of money, even when you are not using it, marina fees, etc. And once it is in the water most sailors never go very far from their “home marina” and sailing will be somewhat restricted. However, what if you could fold your trimaran and put it on a trailer, store it at your house, and go to a new sailing spot the next time?

Here are 6 of the best trailerable trimaran:

  • The Dragonfly series
  • Corsair Series
  • Windrider 17

Choosing the best trailerable trimaran (a multi-hull with three “hulls”) will depend on crucial factors like speed, durability, design, and ease of transportation. This article is here to help you get started with your research and hopefully help you on the way towards your dream boat!

Table of Contents

Cruising Trimarans That Can Be Transported

Cruising boats are made for multiday sailing either on the coast of your favorite sailing area or full-out blue-water ocean crossings. Extended living should be a priority in these designs.

1. The Dragonfly 25 and 28 (Dragon Fly Series)

Dragonfly is in the business of making the “best foldable trimarans on the planet” many would agree with this statement. Dragonfly is known for its commitment to easy trailering and ease of use, shown in designs for the Dragonfly 25 and Dragonfly 28.

The “Swing Wing” system on the linchpins is one of the key features of the dragonfly series. The system’s application makes it possible for the trimaran to narrow its beam as much as 50%.

Attesting to its Scandinavian manufacturing, most parts of the trimaran are made in-house. This guarantees quality and ensures that all used parts are above standard.

You don’t need to look further than the Dragonfly 25. Its centerboard slightly offset to port. Extra space is created in the main hull’s interior with a trunk buried under a settee. Performance-wise, the low drag and narrow hull shape allow the boat to reach blistering speeds.

Dragonfly 28 In Numbers

  • Length: 8.75m
  • Beam folded: 2.54m
  • Max crew: 5-7 people
  • Max Speed: 22+knots

Dragonfly 25 In Numbers

  • Length: 7.65m
  • Beam folded: 2.30m
  • Max crew: 4-6 people
  • Max Speed: 21+knots

2. Farrier F-22

New Zealand enters the trimaran manufacturing race with this premium sea goer. The vessel comes in two different versions: a performance variation with more horsepower and a full cabin cruising version. 

Compared to the dragon series the F-22 has the biggest allowance for space.

The F-22 is known for being one of the easiest trimarans to fold and load.

The sports version of the F-22 has some really good performance to offer. It has an aggressive spirit: you can mount a sail while leaving plenty of space for the boat’s fine entry and flared forward sections. The build quality is also topnotch—a lasting memorial to a principle that Ian Farrier always worked by: excellence.

Farrier F-22 In Numbers

  • Length: 7.0m
  • Beam folded: 2.5m
  • Max crew: 3-5 people
  • Max Speed: 20+knots

3. Corsair Series

This boat series has an exciting history. Farrier created it to promote his trailerable tri concept. However, the series is now independent with a top-class vehicle to its name.

The Corsair 760 is listed as providing some of the best performance and safety benefits to sailors.

Building off the spirit of excellence of the founder, the Corsair 760 has created a boat with comfort and racing potential. The boat can be tricky to handle at first, but it will be a breeze once you get the hang of it.

It is also worth noting that the corsair 37 is the largest trailerable trimaran on the market today.

Daysail Trimarans That Can Be Transported

Boats that are made for dayssailing are usually smaller, cheaper and more easily handled. They are perfect for those looking to enjoy a full day on the water in calm weather, but are usually less suitable for multiday events or rough sea sailing.

4. The Astus Models (20ft, 22.5ft, and 24ft)

If you’re looking for something small but still capable of doing day sailing, this 22.5-foot trimaran is for you. Built for speed and maneuverability, the Astus 22.5 has optional foils to optimize speed.

The modern design, coupled with the spacious interior, can fit up to four beds. Accordingly, this trimaran is suited for family outings. 

The Astus brand specializes in transportable trimarans, worth noting is that some models need a specific trailer whilst the smaller boats use a standard trailer.

5. Weta 14.5

The 2019 Weta trimaran is a 14.5-foot (4.4-meter) trimaran featuring a carbon frame, centerboard, rudder foil, and rudder shock. The hull is made from fiberglass and foam. The Weta is built for strength and speed based on these lightweight materials. 

The 2019 Weta trimaran is easy to sail and is worth considering whether you want to take a quiet sail, race with your friends, or take kids to a sailing lesson. It has a simple design and is easy to set up independently.

The small size makes it more suitable for daysailing in good weather rather than multiday cruising, although more experienced sailors will of course push the limits of this boat.

6. WindRider 17

The 17.4-foot (5.3-meter) WindRider 17 is one of the more versatile trimarans in the market. It packs high performance for a low cost. This trimaran has a light rotating mast to boost performance, and a full-battened mainsail optimizes visibility. 

This sailboat is made from rotomolded polyethylene, which is more durable than fiberglass and demands less maintenance.

The WindRider 17 has a comfortable interior and can fit six adults. This is an ideal choice for social sailing for a couple or a family and friends. It’s easy to ride, and a shallow draft allows easy maneuverability. 

What’s the Largest Trailerable Trimaran?

The largest trailerable trimaran is the Corsair 37 , this multihull is built for single-handed cruising while still maintaining the ability to comfortably seat 6 people.

The Corsair 37 provides comfort, speed, and safety. It also contains just enough space to accommodate amenities like a propane stove, a sink, and other equipment.

The vessel is designed to be a performance cruiser. It features an aluminum rotating wing mast, carbon fiber bowsprit, and premium deck hardware. The corsair can still cut through the water with ease despite its size, putting the wind in your sails.

What Is a Catamaran?

trimaran xove

A catamaran is a boat with two hulls (a trimaran has three) connected by a bridge deck. Catamarans usually offer more space than both monohulls and trimarans of the same length. The catamaran is usually somewhat slower than a trimaran but faster than a monohull. They are usually made of fiberglass or carbon fiber.

Catamarans come in all shapes and sizes. You can find straightforward sailing catamarans, perfect for those who are only starting their sailing journey. Larger sailing catamarans have become extremely popular for long-distance sailing.

There are also power catamarans, they have huge diesel-powered engines (sometimes electric) and no sails. Also called “power cats”, these boats can reach 30+kts.

Can a Trimaran Be Trailerable?

As discussed above, some trimarans are possible to put on a trailer and move to another sailing area or to be stored at home. This is usually not possible with catamarans but is sometimes possible with the trimarans that are fitted with foldable amas (the two outer “floats” or “hulls”).

Some trimarans can be trailerable, this is mainly due to the ability to drastically decrease the vessels beam, sometimes as much as 50%. This allows the trailer plus trimaran to be below the legal requirements of the road.

Final Thoughts

It has proven difficult to beat the trimaran in terms of speed. Through the ages, this type of vessel has proven to be immensely enjoyable in all kinds of sailing activities. These can range from sea adventures to waterborne relaxation in your free time.

Trimarans come in various types, foldable, for cruising or racing, etc. However, there is a common factor: many of the small ones are trailerable. This makes them easier to move than most other types of boats.

Andrei Dragos

How do you judge the success of an ocean cruising yacht? You can tell a lot from where you see them and where you don’t. It’s also instructive to look at the builder’s order book. If you buy one now, how long will you have to wait for delivery? Another indicator is how well (or poorly) they hold their value on the secondhand market. By any of these measures, Neel Trimarans is absolutely nailing it.

You’ll often see Neel tris anchored in remote parts of the Hebrides and far-flung atolls of the South Pacific but they’re rarely seen in crowded, mainstream cruising destinations like the Ionian, the Virgin Islands or the Solent. Depending on which model of Neel tri you want, you’ll probably have to wait at least eight months and possibly up to two years. And a survey of brokerage websites suggests that there isn’t a great deal of difference between the asking price of a two-year-old Neel and the cost of a new one.

Despite the disruptions of the Covid pandemic, the La Rochellebased shipyard is still steadily growing. ‘We built about 30 boats last year,’ says Neel founder Eric Bruneel, ‘and this year we expect to build 45 to 50.’ The latest, smallest model, the Neel 43, is coming off the production line at a rate of one boat every two weeks and demand is still outstripping supply.

That said, due to the shipyard’s recently increased capacity, now is a good time to order a new Neel as the waiting list, at the time of writing, is shorter than it’s been in years.

Neel’s new Leen power tri have the same core values, and designer Bernard Nivelt owns one…

Neel is one of just a few brands that have carefully positioned themselves between these two extremes. ‘Where other multihulls have to choose between performance and comfort, a Neel combines both,’ says Charline Picon, an Olympic gold medallist the the RS-X class, who knows a thing or two about performance and is Godmother of the Neel 51. ‘We’re definitely performance-oriented but it’s absolutely not about racing,’ says Eric Bruneel, pointing out that while his yachts have performed very well indeed in ocean passage events like the ARC and ARC+, these are competitive cruising rallies rather than races.

Bruneel has a strong personal racing pedigree, having won his class in the 2004 OSTAR and 2005 Fastnet aboard the 50ft Trilogic, which he built himself, plus a second place in the 2006 Route du Rhum and various exploits in bleeding-edge C Class cats. He also has a lifetime of experience at the forefront of multihull production with 27 years at Fountaine-Pajot, including 10 years as managing director, before he left to found his own shipyard. In the decade since the first Neel trimaran sailed out of La Rochelle’s historic harbour, his boats have earned widespread respect among experienced ocean sailors.

So why choose a tri? There are several reasons why three hulls are better than two, especially if you’re sailing offshore. First and foremost: weight distribution, which is far more important in a multihull than a monohull. The central hull of a trimaran is the ideal place to put all the heavy stuff, Bruneel explains, and having a single engine amidships is much better for stability than twin engines at the aft ends of two hulls. ‘It changes everything, all the dynamics – like a skater in a spin, moving her arms in and out to control her speed,’ he says. ‘Catamarans have to carry weight in all four corners and that’s why the motion of a trimaran is better, much softer, at sea.’ The pitching motion is less pronounced when sailing closehauled and on a beam reach there’s less of a tendency for the boat to rock back and forth from hull to hull.

Another advantage is better performance in light airs, Bruneel says, which directly translates to more enjoyment for the owner and crew. The combined wetted surface of a trimaran’s main hull and one float is smaller than the wetted area of a cat with both of its hulls still immersed, and the trimaran is designed to sail with a small amount of heel, rather than bolt upright, which helps the sails hold their shape in very light winds. Also, a single rudder with a simple direct linkage gives a better ‘feel’ to the helm than a twin-rudder setup, particularly upwind, and saves weight in the stern where it has a significant effect on the boat’s fore-and- aft pitching motion.

Other key features include a cutter-rigged mast stepped amidships (long before it became fashionable to bring the mast step aft) with a big genoa and a working jib with a much lower centre of effort than the part-furled genoa of a sloop-rigged yacht; plenty of lateral resistance to ensure good upwind VMG – equivalent to a monohull racer-cruiser of similar length in almost any conditions – without needing a daggerboard; and the ability to sail efficiently downwind at deeper angles than most other cruising multihulls can manage, which is a distinct advantage for trade wind sailing.

Exotic materials are used only sparingly in the boats’ construction, for good reason. ‘We use unidirectional carbon only in crucial places like the beams and deck,’ Bruneel explains. ‘For long-distance cruising you don’t want carbon in the hulls because even a small hit can do a lot of damage to the boat, and we don’t need it because our boats are light enough without it.’ A carbon rig with square-top mainsail is available, which gives better performance than the standard alloy rig in light airs, but Bruneel says that in most conditions there isn’t much difference between the two rigs.

Almost all part of the boats, even the interiors, are vacuum-infused GRP foam sandwich using materials that can easily be recycled when the boat eventually reaches the end of its life. Social aspects of sustainability are taken equally seriously and the gender pay gap within the shipyard is actually tilted in favour of female employees. Environmental concerns are paramount even in the new range of Leen motor yachts. ‘I couldn’t ignore that even if I wanted to,’ Bruneel says. ‘My design engineers would simply refuse to produce a dirty boat.’

Trimaran – The Ultimate Guide

trimaran xove

Trimarans have been around for a while, yet racing aside they are not as popular as some other types of boats, especially in the multihull segment largely dominated by catamarans.

It is a shame as sailing a trimaran can be a very thrilling experience, even for the most relaxing yacht trips. Three words define it perfectly: Stability, Speed, and Lightness.

What is a trimaran?

A trimaran is a type of multihull boat composed of three individual hulls.

The center hull is the largest part of the boat, and the other two are floats designed to keep the boat stable by connecting to the center hull through an arm.

A brief history of trimarans

The name trimaran comes from the root word tri, meaning three, and maram, meaning wood or tree.

It is reported that the first trimarans were built by cultures in Asia and the Philippines. It is still the traditional fishing boat today in these parts of the world.

In the 16th century, the first trimaran (and catamaran) prototypes were “Proa” – tiny boats with two parallel hulls. The islanders used these boats in the Pacific Ocean.

Then, the amateur development of the modern sailing trimaran began in 1945 with the efforts of Victor Chetchet, a Ukrainian immigrant to the United States, who built two trimarans out of marine plywood that was later credited with coining the term “trimaran.”

Recreational trimarans grew in popularity in the 1960s and 1970s.

Until the ’90s, the trimaran was mostly chosen by sailors looking for performance.Modern trimarans, however, differ from the popular multihulls of that period in terms of design, speed, and “stuffing.”

In the last 30 years, many Trimarans ranging in length from 19 to 36 feet have been designed and built. Most of these trimarans could be folded and transported in trailers.

Trimarans quickly became a popular mode of transportation. Benchijigua Express, a 127-meter trimaran, was delivered to Spain in 2005. There were 1280 people and 340 automobiles on board! It was the world’s longest aluminum ship at the time, with a peak speed of 40 knots!

Likewise, things have changed in recent years. The cruising multihull market has developed enormously, with trimarans reaching very appreciable cruising levels, such as the new Tricat 30 or, for larger budgets, the Neel 45.

Why choose a trimaran?

trimaran xove

Trimarans are faster than monohulls or cruising catamarans of the same size. They are also undoubtedly even more stable and secure than a catamaran.

They are masters of competition and records for a reason. For example, Thomas Coville held the world record of 49 days and 3 hours of the solo round the world race on the trimaran Sodebo Ultim.

Main trimaran characteristics

Thanks to its central hull and two smaller outrigger hulls, its three hulls give the trimaran very high stability. During the navigation, the trimaran goes upwind better than a catamaran, which is more prone to drifting phenomena. Therefore, Trimarans are faster.

The renowned NEEL 65, for example, is an atypical and innovative trimaran. Its capacity has been increased to provide roomy staterooms, and its center hull, which is precisely aligned with the mooring line, ensures stability and comfort when at anchor.

A trimaran is very stable

The wind propels a sailboat ahead and causes it to tilt in one direction. The keel under the hull prevents the boat from drifting and the ballast from capsizing in monohulls. As a result, a monohull will list in heavy winds.

Multihulls, on the other hand, benefit from their floats, which can withstand submersion. The catamaran will cruise quietly and will not heel like a monohull, but it will be unpleasant in rough waves.

In contrast, the trimaran’s three hulls provide excellent stability, similar to the little wheels added to a bicycle. The shape of the floats makes recreational trimarans especially stable and enjoyable to sail even in severe waves.

Sailing a trimaran is a thrilling experience

The trimarans offer a real sailing experience in the heart of the ocean racing world. They also allow you to meet with passionate people that will share their technical knowledge, experiences, and adventures with you.

If you choose a cruising trimaran for a luxurious vacation, your experience will be just as enriching. You will enjoy large living spaces, incomparable stability, relaxing safety, and quality crew service along with true sailing sensations.

The wind and the performance of a trimaran are second to none

When the wind pulls a boat upwind or the side, it is essential to offset the wind’s drive, and the hull and daggerboard provide this compensatory thrust.

As compared to a catamaran, a trimaran is more capable of sailing upwind. Thus, trimarans are quicker than catamarans, and this advantage is especially noticeable while sailing against the wind due to the weight centering in the middle hull, which reduces pitching.

Safety: the trimaran is the safest of all multihulls

Among all the multihulls, the trimaran is the safest because of its three-hull design, comprehensive anti-drift scheme, and weight centering.

There are for instance considerable variances in righting torques between a trimaran and a catamaran. Trimarans have a maximum righting moment of 27° of the heel while catamarans have a maximum righting moment of only 12°. This can be attained in strong winds, even in extremely small seas. The margin is therefore much higher on a trimaran.

Furthermore, even if the trimaran were to capsize, the construction would keep it from sinking, making it an extremely safe watercraft.

That being said, all multihulls, including catamarans are generally safe and easy to maneuver as long as you do it correctly.

Racing: a trimaran is a very popular choice

When it comes to racing, trimarans are more popular than catamarans, especially over the last 10 years.

Racing trimarans provide significant speed and safety benefits in extended offshore races. Even in severe seas, they can be pushed harder and are more forgiving than other racing catamarans. These are the primary reasons why trimarans have become so popular in recent multihull competitions.

There are many different types of experiences possible with a trimaran, so many people will find a trimaran to their liking.

The racing enthusiast ready to take on the world, the sailor with a thirst for adventure, or the cruising family, will find the trimaran right for their project.

The main trimarans drawbacks

The biggest drawback to trimarans is their living space. Indeed, most of the models on the market have a living space centered only at the level of the central hull, and the other spaces are rather limited. This is especially true for racing trimarans.

The only manufacturer who offers a solution to this problem is NEEL, with trimarans having large and comfortable living spaces.

Trimaran yacht charter: a unique and thrilling experience

Known as the island of flowers, Martinique is a French overseas territory. It is also one of the largest islands in the Lesser Antilles.

Saint Martin: Sint Maarten is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, while Saint Martin, the northern half of the island, is a French overseas collectivity. A popular stop for Caribbean cruise ships, the island is known for its lagoons, beaches, and colonial-style architecture.

Guadeloupe: Guadeloupe is a small butterfly-shaped island divided into two main islands: Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre. Separated by a narrow channel and connected by a bridge, the two islands are very distinct. This French overseas department lies in the middle of the Eastern Caribbean, between Dominica and Antigua. Charter a yacht in this part of the Lesser Antilles and discover a unique blend of European and tropical cultures.

Seychelles: Seychelles are all varied, and each offers a personal vision of Paradise. You can explore them all during your cruise thanks to the short sailing distances.

Buying a trimaran

trimaran xove

Buying a boat, regardless of the type, depends on the intended navigation. For a cruising-oriented program, we often think of the monohull or the catamaran. The trimaran market seems more naive, yet cruising aboard a trimaran can be an excellent alternative.

However, trimarans are now able to provide all the necessary comfort for each cruising project.

On the other hand, when it comes to determining trimaran costs, most people make a mistake in their value evaluation. Rather than comparing lengths, the underlying value is found in the cost per knot.

Besides, a trimaran will outperform a monohull boat of the same length.

How much does it cost to buy a trimaran?

You can buy a trimaran for about $959,959. With 75 HP engine, fiberglass hull material, this trimaran will have 8.9 meters of the beam and 1.8 meters of draft. It houses 4 guest cabins and 2 crew cabins.

The best trimarans shipyards

trimaran xove

Among the best trimaran builders we can find:

Neel: The trimarans of the shipyard are unique thanks to the experience and unequaled know-how. They combine unequaled living comfort with incredible sailing pleasure.

Rapido trimarans: Its creator has always been convinced that there was a missing segment in the sailing market: a cruising trimaran at sea, piloted by its owner, powerful enough to accelerate and avoid any potential problem, and able to be sailed safely by two people. This is how their concept was born: to build the fastest production cruising trimaran in the world.

Dragonfly: The shipyard offers 4 models, from 25 to 40 feet, with different touring, sport, performance, evolution, or ultimate, which allows everyone to find a trimaran to suit his needs.

Corsair marine: Created by a New Zealand architect in California, Corsair has built more than 1,200 folding trimarans between 1984 and 2008, making them the leader in this segment.

A Comprehensive Guide & Introduction to Trimaran Yachts

When it comes to sailing boats, there are several options to choose from, including monohull boats, cruising catamarans, and multihull boats such as catamarans and trimarans. While catamarans are a popular choice due to their spaciousness and stability, trimarans offer some unique advantages. With three hulls instead of two, trimarans like the Corsair 880 and Rapido Trimaran have a wider beam, which can help increase speed and stability in high winds.

Additionally, trimaran sailing techniques can differ from those used on catamarans due to the placement of the centerboard and the differences in the hull shape. In fact, trimarans can be faster than catamarans in certain conditions, as the wind speed doubles between the sails, creating more lift. Ultimately, the choice between a catamaran and a trimaran will depend on the sailor’s preferences and intended use.

When it comes to choosing a sailboat, there are many factors to consider, including boat speed, comfort, and cost. Trimarans have become increasingly popular due to their speed and stability, and the Dragonfly 32 Trimaran and Strike 18 Trimaran are two great examples. The Neel Trimaran line, including the Neel 43 and Neel 51, offer even more comfort with their aft cabins and spacious designs.

However, the cost of these larger trimarans can be significant, and buyers may want to consider a basic boat incl from Quorning Boats or even a used Neel Trimaran for sale. Ultimately, the right choice depends on the buyer’s priorities, but all trimarans offer the advantage of being able to sail faster than the apparent wind due to their multiple hulls. Whether testing a new model or enjoying an established design, a trimaran is a fantastic choice for sailors looking to maximize their speed and stability on the water.

Give it up for the multihull sector of the boating industry.

Any industry insider will easily see how fast growing that sector currently is. In fact, it is the fastest growing sector if the number of new cruising boat manufacture and sales is anything to go by.

Far from the prejudice of the earliest days, multihulls now seem to be the in-thing and you don’t have to look far away before you’ll see the next catamaran, trimaran yacht for sale.

Sales of catamarans are booming with each passing day. Trimarans, on the other hand, are like a niche within another niche.

Most trimarans are high performing vessels. These sailing yachts are usually designed for purposes ranging from racing to recreational use. This article will provide readers with a brief but comprehensive introduction into the world of trimarans.

So, what then is a trimaran boat in the first place?

For anyone looking for an exciting and versatile sailboat, the aluminum trimaran is a great option. One of the most popular types of trimaran boats is the Piver trimaran, which is known for its stability and maneuverability on the water. The Piver trimaran features three hulls, with the middle hull being the largest and most stable.

This design allows for smooth sailing and comfortable overnight cruising, making it a great choice for those looking to spend a weekend or longer on the water. The aluminum construction also ensures durability and low maintenance, making it a cost-effective choice for sailboat enthusiasts. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a beginner, the Piver trimaran offers a unique and exciting sailing experience that is sure to impress.

What is a Trimaran Yacht?

According to Wikipedia, a trimaran is also known a double outrigger. Trimaran yachts are multihull yachts comprised of the main hull and two other smaller outrigger hulls (which may also be called floats).

These three parts are the basic components of every trimaran sailboat. Each of the outrigger hulls is connected to the main hull with lateral beams.

While most trimaran yachts are usually sailing yachts designed for recreational and racing purposes, some others are still designed to be used as ferries and warships.

Trimaran for Sale

The name trimaran was coined from ‘tri’ and ‘maran’

The ‘trimaran’ name has its origin in two words. It was formed from ‘tri’ and ‘maran’. While ‘tri’ means three, the ‘maran’ part means wood or tree.

Trimarans have a kind of interesting design and architecture that makes them exceptionally fast and powerful. It is thus the preferred vessel for most lovers of speed and water adventure.

Trimarans have been around since 2000 BC

Although today’s popular sailing trimarans did not get mainstream acceptance until the 60’s and 70’s, these vessels have been in use and existence long before global acceptance, dating back to about 2000 BC.

In fact, the earliest trimarans are still very much in use today.

The development started with the Austronesia people.

Today, traditional fishermen of the maritime region of Southeast Asia, Micronesia, Madagascar, as well as, the Polynesia regions still use trimaran sailboat similar to the first trimarans.

Trimarans are composed of three main parts

We’ve mentioned this in our description of what a trimaran yacht is.

Every trimaran would have a main or center hull and then two other small outrigger hulls attached to the center hull with lateral beams.

These three components form the basic design for all trimarans and modern trimaran sailboat designs always take this trimaran base.

The center hull is the main hull and is also known as vaka. The two stabilizers on the sides are known as the outrigger hulls, or ama(s).

The main hull offers the most buoyancy

The amas are mainly there to offer more stability to the vessel. Most of a trimaran yacht’s buoyancy is provided by the center or main hull.

This arrangement no doubt offers more flexibility to the design.

Because there is usually a wide separation between the hulls, the trimaran yacht requires only a little buoyancy to keep the yacht stable. This reason is why you’d rarely find trimarans having their outrigger hulls or amas in the water.

Trimarans offer better stability and a super stellar performance

Trimarans, when compared to catamarans which are composed of only two hulls, are more stable.

They offer a better stability and a stellar performance which have even been improved with new technologies infused into the design of these boats.

Trimarans are lightweight and are the preferred choice for boat aficionados and connoisseurs.

The stellar performance advantage which is made possible by the design makes trimarans some of the fastest boats when it comes to yacht racing.

They are perfect for sports sailing and are often winners in water races and competitions.

Trimaran Yacht

Different types of trimarans

There are basically just two types of trimarans. These are the regular trimaran and the open trimaran.

Instead of plating, the open trimaran rather has a trampoline in between the hulls.

Trimaran yacht advantages over monohull yachts

When compared to single-hulled yachts, trimarans no doubt have some advantages. Some feature differences also exist.

A trimaran, when compared with a monohull of the same length would have a shallower draft. It would also have a wider beam and a less wetted area.

The trimaran though will be able to fly more sail area compared to the single-hulled yacht.

Because of the wider beam, the trimaran has a better straight-line performance when compared with a monohull.

The trimaran can sail in shallower waters and can still perform well while maintaining its stability in the face of stronger winds.

Trimarans are almost unsinkable

Trimarans have a kind of design that is considered almost unsinkable.

This is because even when it is filled with water, the buoyancy of a single outrigger hull or ama can easily keep the entire yacht afloat.

The ama offers greater resistance to the boats and unlike monohulls, trimarans rarely sink.

Because of the high level of safety and stability, sailors with restricted mobility often prefer some special types of trimarans.

Trimarans are like the bridge between catamarans and monohulls

Catamarans, as well as monohulls, have their areas of excellence. Nevertheless, trimaran yachts have certain capabilities which have made them seem like the bridge between monohulls and catamarans at which there is little or no compromise.

Trimaran sailboats are excellent for high speed.

Trimarans generally have moderate weight carrying capability, moderate space below the main deck, and a larger deck area.

The cross deck design between the amas and the main deck is another advantage.

Catamarans usually have large empty gaps in their cross deck bridges.This complexity then necessitates the need for stronger structures, implying more weight, and higher costs. A trimaran yacht would usually have a much smaller cross deck.

There will be a shorter gap between the hulls and the empty space would not extend through the entire yacht’s length.Because of these, less structural weight is required and heavier loads can also be carried on the cross deck.

While catamaran and trimaran yachts are usually built for different purposes, the most obvious difference out of racing is usually the center hull.The center hull of a trimaran yacht will be much larger than the catamaran hulls.

Trimarans are easy to trail, they have a kind of superior handling and are easier to tack, compared to catamarans.

They are easy to manhandle ashore due to their lightweight design.

The lightweight design also makes it easier to use small and inexpensive engines when motoring. With a trimaran yacht, you’d be getting a stellar performance that will get you higher speeds.

If you want more excitement and thrill, perhaps a trimaran yacht such as the racing trimaran Tantrum Too will be very much suitable for you. Tantrum Too is a 12.7m trimaran yacht designed as a concept yacht for a fast ocean cruiser and cruising trimaran.

2006 Racing Trimaran Tantrum Too

If you’re in the market for a good buy, the trimaran yacht for sale is currently available on auction. You can register here so you can tender your bid for this cruising trimaran.

The purpose of this article is not to pick the better yacht between a trimaran yacht and a catamaran, or a trimaran and a single-hulled boat.

Each of these different watercraft has different areas where they excel. Your choice will most likely have to do with the purpose for which you’re buying.

If you’ve discussed with your sailing crew and have decided to choose a trimaran as your next yacht, all well and good, you’re in for a lot of thrills and fun.
