► 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!

Mount Fuji (日本, Fujisan), Japan's highest peak at 3,776 meters (12,389 ft), is a dormant stratovolcano (last erupted in 1707) and a designated UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. It is considered a sacred site for Shintoists, who believe the peak is sacred to the goddess Sengen-Sama The Name "Fuji" * Fujisan (富士山): While often called "Fujiyama" in the West, the Japanese refer to it as "Fujisan". Both "san" and "yama" mean mountain. * Obscure Origins: The exact origin of the name "Fuji" is unclear, but many theories exist, including "immortal" (fushi) or "not two" (peerless/fuji). * Kanji Meaning: The current characters for Fuji (富士) can be interpreted to mean "wealth" (富) and "man of status" (士). * Historic Names: In The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (9th-10th century), an elixir of life is burned at the peak, leading it to be called fushi(immortal).  2. Curiosities and Unique Facts * Three Volcanoes in One: Mt. Fuji is actually three separate volcanoes stacked on top of each other: Komitake at the base, Kofuji in the middle, and Fuji at the top. * Privately Owned: The land from the 8th station (roughly 3,360 meters) to the summit is private property belonging to the Fujisan Hongū Sengen Taisha shrine. * Forbidden for Women: For centuries until the Meiji Restoration in 1868, women were forbidden from climbing the mountain. * "Fuji's Peak" (Hairline): A widow's peak hairline (a point in the middle of the forehead) is referred to as "Fuji's peak" in Japanese and is considered a marker of beauty. * Active Volcano: Despite being dormant for over 300 years, geologists still classify it as an active volcano. * 10 Stages (Gome): The trail to the top is divided into 10 "stations" or gome, with the fifth station being the highest point accessible by vehicle.
