Not bad for a 30-footer designed above all to sail fast and offer its crew real pleasure at the helm...

TRICAT 25 EVOLUTION NEW
The Tricat 25 Evolution, which we discovered at the fall boat shows, really is a new boat, and not just a development of the Tricat 25 (as its name could lead you to believe). It offers a new, more functional and warmer interior, as well as new cross beams in carbon, new floats, and a new sail plan which offers increased but more useable power. The Tricat 25 Evolution is stiffer, thanks to its construction using infusion techniques, and the use of a carbon – epoxy sandwich, and is even faster.

TORO 34 RACE NEW
Pure pleasure: this is quite simply what the Toro 34 promises! It must be said that this catamaran, designed and built in Canada, has a few nice arguments in its favor, such as its carbon construction, its top quality fittings and a high-performance but reassuring hull. Result – this 34-foot super sport cat equipped with a powerful sail plan can race competitively (see our article on the Heineken Regatta in Multihulls World n° 166) but can also go cruising, with the simple but comprehensive accommodation to be found in the hulls. But the new boat of the year is this even faster Race version which the builder is concocting for us, in addition to a less extreme Charter version...

MULTI 23
Do you dream of the Route du Rhum, but sailing on an Ultime class trimaran doesn’t seem reasonable to you (and you are right)? Well here is the solution: the Multi 23 is a trimaran with great looks, which will take you on some fabulous ‘runs’, whilst remaining forgiving; its daggerboard in the central hull will come out of the water when you fly too high, thus avoiding any risk of a capsize... You can thus attack, and just think about having fun, and the whole crew (up to 4 people) will be fighting to take the helm: in short, the pleasure machine par excellence. We love it!
