Rapido 40 Racer – The all carbon Pure Performance Racer
Rapido Trimarans has launched construction of its newest rocket: the Rapido 40R (Racer). Built for sailors who crave speed and competition, the 40R takes the proven platform of the Rapido 40 and turns it up a notch – with a mast 2m taller than standard and a stripped-back, race-ready finish.
Why a trimaran?
Because they are fast, safe, and powerful. Trimarans dominate offshore racing and hold the solo circumnavigation speed record. The Rapido 40R channels this DNA into a high-octane multihull specifically tuned for racing.
* Performance-Driven Design
* Taller, 19.5m carbonrig for more sail power
* Paint finish instead of gelcoat to save weight
* Optimized, lightweight build for maximum efficiency
* Spacious deck and trampoline nets for pure sailing action
Comfort Where It Counts
Unlike most pure race boats, the Rapido 40R still benefits from the inherent stability, comfort, and safety of a trimaran. She’s fast, but she’s also forgiving, making her the ultimate weapon for those who want to race hard and sail further.
Filling a Gap in the Market
In this size range, monohulls have traditionally dominated. The Rapido 40R changes that. She offers multihull racing enthusiasts a high-tech, affordable alternative with true offshore pedigree.
