For those who have been hesitating between a racing dinghy and a catamaran, Ex Aqua brings an exciting alternative: the Astus 14.1 trimaran.
The Astus 14.1 combines the ease of handling and steering of a monohull with the speed of a catamaran. The flared hull and large cockpit provide a dry and comfortable sitting position whilst the floats provide reassuring stability.
Fast, stable and comfortable
Each float, with 80 litres of buoyancy, provides the same righting moment as an adult on a trapeze. This allows the boat to carry more sail on a narrow planing hull and achieve planing speeds more quickly.
Beginners will enjoy a boat capable of picking up speed in light wind whilst being stable and easy to control. The dry and comfortable sitting position allows for long sailing treks.
Experienced sailors will enjoy planing sensations similar to a skiff but with a much shorter learning curve, thanks to the Astus 14.1's ease of use and furling gennaker.
