The 35 R3 adds a high-tech touch with the use of carbon reinforcements.
This type of compact, lightweight multihull generally reconciles performance and pleasure at the helm, though comfort is often lacking, especially when compared to a catamaran of the same budget. Aware of this problem, the designer has opted for an ingenious cockpit which takes advantage of the width of the aft arms, complemented by two offset helm stations. As for the central hull, it does away with the recurrent problem of the central daggerboard taking up so much space, since the Wapa 35 is equipped with two appendages - one on each outer float. Inside, despite its narrowness at the waterline, there are two very comfortable double berths measuring 63” x 78” and 67” x 78” (160 x 200 and 170 x 200 cm), a convivial saloon, an open-plan galley, a navigation area and a small bathroom with toilet.
The recommended powertrain for efficient port entry and exit, and also battery charging, is an inboard motor - with shaft-driven propeller. In the same spirit, a small rudder on the central hull complements the two others on the floats: the blade is situated aft of the propeller flow to improve maneuverability under power.
