Our Boat Test Teaser:
In the latter configuration, being unveiled to the public for the first time, the trimaran obviously retains the C-shaped foils and carbon rig, and it has an upwind sail area increased from 1,044 square feet to 1,211 (97 m² to 112.54). However, it is 0.7 to 1 ton lighter thanks to the absence of cruising gear and the lowering of the coachroof. The interior, which is relatively sparse, features a lowered deck to maintain as much volume as possible. The floats are particularly voluminous, obviously guaranteeing good strength. All these features could well make the Rapido 40 Racer the fastest 40-foot liveaboard multihull! In port, the floats fold inwards: the beam is reduced from 28’10” (8.8 m) at sea down to 17’1” (5.8 m).
