► Specializing in folding trimarans under 30 feet since 2002, Tricat is presenting its 850 at the International Multihull Show as the replacement for the venerable 25. Still foldable, of course, this new trimaran is logically much more modern than its predecessor, with an added touch of comfort and agility. The daggerboards are fitted in the floats, freeing up the central hull. The companionway hatch has three positions and can be supplemented with a sprayhood and sun awning. Down below, thanks to two levels of chines, the 8.50 offers a fairly decent headroom of six feet (1.82 m). There are proper berths, a fixed galley, a toilet, and plenty of clever storage space. After this stopover at La Grande-Motte in the Mediterranean, 850 #1 will be returning to Brittany, where a test sail in the Gulf of Morbihan has already been scheduled. Will this outing be as windy as the one we enjoyed on the Tricat 6.90 four years ago? ► Technical specifications: Builder: Tricat Architect: BE Tricat/Jack Michal Length unfolded/folded: 27’11”/32’8” (8.5/9.95 m) Beam unfolded/folded: 21’4”/9’8” (6.5/2.95 m) Displacement: 4,300 lbs (1.95 t) Draft: 18”/4’11” (0.45/1.5 m) Mainsail: 366 sq ft (34 m2) Genoa: 194 sq ft (18 m2) Code 0: 388 sq ft (36 m2) Asymmetrical spinnaker: 721 sq ft (67 m2) Motor: 6 to 15 HP outboard CE Category: B4/C6 Price: from € 124,083 ex-tax ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!

► Full test in Special Issue N°24 Forever Green: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/trimaran/modx-70-a-revolution-in-recreational-boating ► Winner of Multihull of the Year in the Multiyacht category, the ModX 70 was definitely the multihull not to be missed at La Grande-Motte. This new 100% renewable-energy cruising catamaran has already proven its technological prowess by completing a circumnavigation of Spain without using any fossil fuels. The ModX 70 is equipped with the latest technology, enabling it to operate without a generator on board. To achieve this feat without jeopardizing safety, the MODX 70 designers decided to launch a catamaran large enough to support a very powerful battery bank (230 kWh in fact!) while increasing the potential area of the solar panels - it stretches to 750 square feet (70 m²). The two motors are capable of a 100-mile range. The fully automated rig is perhaps the most amazing feature as the two retractable carbon masts - one on each hull - each support a 1,345 sq ft (125 m²) inflatable wing that can reach 75 feet (23 meters) in height. The build involved using 38% biosourced epoxy resin, 40% recycled PET foam, flax fiber and cork. One last point to highlight: This catamaran of the future is nothing like an uncomfortable prototype—quite the opposite, in fact. The layout is as comfortable as it is well finished. The ModX 70 is an undeniable success that will be remembered in the history of yachting—well done! ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Builder: Ocean Développement Architect: VPLP Length: 70’ (21.33 m) Beam: 32’10” (10 m) Draft: 6’7” (2 m) Air draft: 15’1”/75’6” (4.6/23 m) Displacement: 50,700 lbs (23 t) Upwind sail area: 2 x 1,345 sq ft (2 x 125 m²) Drivetrain: 2 x 40 kW Water: 317 US gal (1,200 l) + recovery system www.modx-catamarans.com ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!

Giorno 61 - verso Malaga e oltre 🚀 Ci siamo, ci stiamo avvicinando. Lo stretto di Gibilterra si fa ogni giorno più vicino e noi ci stiamo preparando a salutare il nostro caro e dolce “riparo mediterraneo”. Non che l’Atlantico sia poi brutto, semplicemente non lo conosciamo 🤷‍♀️ Come tante altre cose di questo periodo, sarà una bella scoperta quella del grande e possente oceano Atlantico. Stay tuned, il viaggio si fa caliente! 🚀🔥 A presto!
