Trimarans are safe, powerful and fast as demonstrated by the fact that they consistently win races and hold the solo speed record for circumnavigating the world.
safe
Safety at sea is the No. 1 priority and this thinking is reflected throughout the design and construction of the Rapido.
spacious
The Rapido has some truly amazing living spaces which provide more open, private and intimate areas than monohulls or catamarans.
stable and comfortable
Trimarans are comfortable on all points of sail.
fun
The combination of safety, performance and comfort put the Rapido in a league of its own. The enormous trampoline nets add fun and excitement as you watch the blue water rush underneath you – or as you lounge on the nets while gently floating over a reef. You will be instantly hooked.

The Rapido 53XS
The “Xtra Space” of the Rapido 53XS is for sailors requiring three cabins without unduly compromising performance.
Morrelli and Melvin have achieved this outcome in the XS by retaining the same efficient shape of the Rapido 50’s hull at the waterline level – and extending it. Above the waterline, she flares out to support an expansive deck at the cost of just 800kgs to the boat’s overall weight.
Other Features
No central dagger board: two C curve pre-preg carbon dagger boards,
one on each float hull
No central rudder: twin fixed pre-preg carbon rudder blades, one on each float hull that extend to the lowest point of the main hull to facilitate access to shallow water.
