Astus Boats specialize in transportable trimarans and have made no mistake with their forthcoming 26.5. For the Breton boatbuilder, even though this is the largest model they’ve ever offered, this trimaran obviously remains very accessible, both in terms of handling and budget. This, their fifth collaboration with renowned naval architects VPLP, results in a rather sober design featuring significant volume in the central hull above the chine. A taller rig and longer appendages augur well for excellent performance. The Astus 26.5 is available in three versions: Leisure, Cruising and Sport.
