► Full test in Multihulls World #179: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/trimaran/tricat-690-cruising-and/or-sport-as-you-like ► All first sea trials for the Tricat 6.90. Antoine Houdet, CEO of Tricat is at the helm alone and in a good breeze! Specialists in folding trimarans since 2003, Tricat have just launched a new model which fits between the Tricat 20 and the 25. In order not to (re)tread on the toes of any former models from the shipyard in this category (the 22 and the 23.5), they decided to integrate the metric system: so now you have the Tricat 6.90! We had the opportunity to test this model in particularly heavy conditions: at just 7 meters (22’8”) long, it showed itself to be as safe as it is fast. While the central hull is relatively traditional with its almost plumb bow and its very high chines. The floats are more modern, with a flush gunwale and a broken and inverted bow in the upper section. The main innovation of this new model is the removal of the traditional aft beam, freeing up circulation around the cockpit, especially for the helmsman. For the interior, some well thought-out packages and options allow you to increase the level of comfort. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Tricat Architects: BE Tricat / Jack Michal Material: polyester-infused GRP Length unfolded/folded: 22’8” / 24’11” (6.90/7.60 m) Beam unfolded/folded: 15’1” / 8’½” (4.60/2.45 m) Draft: 12” / 3’11” (0.30/1.20 m) Light displacement: 1,590 lbs (720 kg) Fully-battened mainsail area: 205 / 237 sq ft (19/22 m²) Solent: 104 / 116 sq ft (9.7/10.8 m²) Gennaker: 258 sq ft (24 m²) Spinnaker: 366 sq ft (34 m²) Outboard motor: 3.5 to 6 HP ► 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 500 multihulls tests!

Tschüss 2 Claims IRC Super Zero Victory at the 2025 Rolex Fastnet Race Christian Zugel’s Tschüss 2 (USA70000), co-skippered by Johnny Mordaunt, has taken the win in the highly competitive IRC Super Zero division at the centenary edition of the Rolex Fastnet Race. The VO70 completed the iconic offshore course in an elapsed time of 2 days, 17 hours, and 21 minutes, crossing the finish line off Cherbourg at 05:11 BST on 29 July 2025. With a TCC of 1.617, Tschüss 2 corrected out to a final time of 4 days, 9 hours, and 40 minutes — edging ahead of high-calibre rivals including Roy Disney’s Pyewacket 70 and the 30m Leopard 3, skippered by Chris Sherlock. The win caps off an outstanding season for the former Groupama 4 VO70, originally skippered by Franck Cammas in the Volvo Ocean Race. Now flying the flag for the United States, Tschüss 2 continues to build an impressive offshore racing legacy under Zugel’s leadership. #RolexFastnetRace #Tschüss2 #IRCZero #OffshoreRacing #RORCracing #VO70
