Rapido 60 – Rapido's Original Ocean-Going Performance Trimaran Chosen by Sailing La Vagabonde (Hull #04) The Benchmark for Performance Cruising The Rapido 60 is the trimaran that redefined what a true performance cruiser could be. Safe, powerful, and fast, she carries the DNA of offshore racing multihulls while delivering the comfort and capability demanded by world voyagers. It’s no coincidence that trimarans dominate offshore races and hold the solo, non-stop circumnavigation speed record. Safety First Every Rapido is designed with safety as the top priority. The 60’s all-carbon and foam sandwich construction creates a structure that is light, rigid, and immensely strong – built to withstand the toughest oceans. Her inherent stability, reinforced by advanced engineering, gives owners the confidence to sail anywhere. Spacious Living, Without Compromise Inside, the Rapido 60 offers living spaces that are both generous and versatile. Light-filled interiors, private cabins, and social areas give her a balance unmatched by monohulls and even many catamarans. Trimaran stability ensures comfort on every point of sail – whether passage-making offshore or enjoying a quiet anchorage. Fun, Pure and Simple This is sailing at its most addictive. The vast trampoline nets are both thrilling and relaxing: feel the rush of blue water beneath you at speed, or simply lounge while gliding gently over a reef. The Rapido 60 makes every mile memorable. Engineering Excellence The lightweight carbon/foam sandwich not only provides strength and speed – it also insulates the interiors, keeping living spaces comfortable when the sun beats down. Every detail is optimized for offshore endurance and performance. Designed by Morrelli & Melvin Internationally acclaimed for their America’s Cup designs and high-performance multihulls, Morrelli & Melvin brought their expertise to the Rapido 60. Computer modelling confirmed the 60’s exceptional strength – but we didn’t stop there. We put it to the test. Using two cranes, we lifted the boat from diagonal points on the Rapido to simulate the twisting / torsional loads of rolling seas, while the center hull was anchored firmly to the concrete floor. Each crane applied 9 tonnes of upward force. The Rapido 60 absorbed the stress exactly as designed – with strength, rigidity, and stability. The result: a proven, ocean-ready trimaran that delivers on every promise. The Rapido 60 is more than the flagship of the Rapido range – it’s a statement. A no-compromise, ocean-going performance cruiser for sailors who demand the very best.
