► Full test in Multihulls World 189: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/trimaran/rapido-40-fast-foldable-and-worry-free ► The Triac Composites shipyard and the enormous experience of its team produces a wonderful range of high-performance trimarans from 40 to 60 feet out of its base at Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), in Vietnam. The manufacturer has unveiled its latest “little” boat, the Rapido 40. Trick of the light - that’s its name - has shown good average speeds right from its first sail. This model, in the Racer version, is boosted with C-foils and a carbon rig. While the central hull has a very narrow beam at the waterline, reasonable volume is nevertheless ensured inside, thanks to a marked chine. The floats are particularly voluminous, obviously guaranteeing good strength. And when you go alongside in port, they fold like a dragonfly: the beam is reduced from 28’10” (8.80 m) at sea down to 17’1” (5.20 m). ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Broadblue Catamarans - Length: 39’4” (11.99 m) Beam: 22’ (6.7 m) - Light displacement: 11,020 lbs (5 t) Draft: 3’7” (1.1 m) - Mainsail: 625 sq ft (58 m²) Self-tacking solent: 300 sq ft (28 m²) Fuel: 2 x 53 US gal (2 x 200 l) - Engines: 2 x 20/30 HP Price: £ 281,660 ex-tax - www.broadblue.com Builder: Rapido Trimarans/Triac Composites Architect: Morelli & Melvin - Material: composite Length: 39’4” (12 m) - Beam: 17’1”/28’10” (5.2/8.8 m) Draft: 22”/4’7” (0.56/1.4 m) - Displacement: 10,600 lbs (4.8 t) Mainsail: 700 sq ft (65 m²) - Solent: 345 sq ft (32 m²) ► 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!

Reimagining its interior living space to meld practicality, comfort, and style, the First 53 sailboat demonstrates that luxurious performance means never having to choose between the three. -- About BENETEAU -- The first BENETEAU boats sailed from the shipyards of Croix-de-Vie over 140 years ago. Since that time, the BENETEAU brand has been synonymous with quality and innovation to all those who have taken to the water – first by the fishermen who made their livelihood from the sea and then by the legions of recreational boaters around the globe. Over the years, our commitment to innovating and embracing ideas, no matter how unconventional, has been at the forefront of who we are in order to bring you the best boat possible. BENETEAU was one of the first boatbuilders many years ago to use computer-aided design (CAD) as well as lighter, stronger composite building materials. We’ve also been at the cutting edge of using greener materials and processes to do our part in protecting the incredible world which we explore. However, all this innovation doesn’t mean we’ve turned our back on tradition. One thing we’ve discovered in over a century of boatbuilding is that new-world innovations work best with old-school craftsmanship. This combination has resulted in some of the most iconic sailboats and powerboats in the world – supremely seaworthy yachts renowned for their sense of style, luxury, and comfort along with their creative use of space and new technologies. -- Philosophy -- We’re a lot like you. We love the water in all its forms – the ocean, bays, lakes, and rivers. And we love sharing the boating lifestyle with our family and friends. This love manifests itself in every BENETEAU built in any one of our many manufacturing facilities worldwide. Every BENETEAU sailboat and powerboat on the water reflects the best efforts of the finest architects, designers, and craftsmen along with the highest quality materials and the latest innovations. When you purchase a BENETEAU, you become a valued member of our BENETEAU family. For this reason, our after-sale service is second to none as evidenced by the multitude of National Marine Manufacturers CSI Awards for Excellence in Customer Service. At the core of this outstanding service is our exceptional dealer network. Every one of our authorized BENETEAU dealers will be there for you – from choosing the right yacht to the handover and beyond. Your dealer will be your able guide when it comes to maintaining your boat properly and will help you maximize the return on your investment when it comes time to step up to another BENETEAU – and it usually does! We wouldn’t have it any other way.
