Tout sur : power trimaran

The interest of these new ocean-going multihulls is their very low drag. The Leen 72, like her smaller sistership, the 56, retains the principle of a vast platform sat above the three hulls, but adopts smaller and more aft-set floats than those of the NEELs, so that the deck plan, seen from above, is reminiscent of that of a monohull – a very wide one! Maximum habitability, panoramic view from the pod, low consumption, good behavior in rough seas: the 72 promises to be an ideal craft for long cruising or even exploration missions. Full test in Multihulls World Special Edition #19.

The LEEN Trimarans range already counts two models, the 56 and the 72, and now the La Rochelle-based shipyard has announced a third, more compact model, the LEEN 50. This new tri will be picking up the same program as her bigger sisterships, i.e. blue water cruising with irreproachable marine qualities, great comfort at sea thanks to the three hulls, and large range.
