► 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!

Discover why you should pay a visit to Nairn Harbour on your next adventure sailing Scotland! Dating back to the 4th century, the ancient fishing port of Nairn didn’t become a popular holiday destination until the 1800s, attracting visitors keen to explore the Highlands, Moray Firth coastline and nearby Loch Ness. Home to one of the only two colonies of dolphins in the UK, today’s Nairn is also a magnet for marine enthusiasts and yachtsmen keen to get a glimpse at these most fascinating of sea creatures. As a result the old fishing harbour has received a new lease of life as a berthing site for pleasure craft, many of which join in the frequent racing events organised by the local sailing club. Get the full experience and discover bespoke offers on berthing, luxury yacht charter hire, and more at https://sailscotland.co.uk/offers/ Grab your free Sail Scotland brochure: https://sailscotland.co.uk/plan/sailscotlandbrochure/ Visit our website: https://www.SailScotland.co.uk Like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SailScotland/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sailscotland/ Say hello on Twitter: https://twitter.com/sailscotland
