By far this is the best road trip we have ever done. We loved it so much we did it again. Many of the people that visit New Zealand often road trip around the South Island but I'm a firm believer that the North Island is just as beautiful, with the East Coast being just one example. We first did this trip in July 2022 and then again in September 2023 after Cyclone Gabrielle. The second time took longer to drive due to the extensive road works caused by the catastrophic damage from Cyclone Gabrielle so care was needed. Words cannot describe how beautiful this coastline is.

► Full test in Multihulls World N°192: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/trimaran/libertist-853-folding-version-one-standard-marina-slip-please ► On the trimaran market, fixed arm models are rare... apart from offshore racing boats and Neel, but these aren’t in the sub-thirty-foot sector. The Libertist's ambition was to establish a fixed structure in the 23-40’ (7-12 m) category. Bearing the signature of Erik Lerouge, the Polish shipyard Boat Project is now offering everything of the 853 folding version. A formula that allows them to join a small but active market, mainly occupied by Dragonfly, Corsair, Astus and Tricat. The 853 is elegant, extremely fast and manages to offer an amazing volume in a central hull of only 28’ (8.50 m). ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Boat Project Architect: Erik Lerouge Construction: Glass/epoxy foam sandwich (infusion), carbon arms Length: 28’ (8.53 m) Beam: 22’9” (6.94 m) / 13'7'' (4.15 m) Draft: 18”/6’2” (0.45 m/1.89 m) Unladen weight: 3,085 lbs (1,400 kg) Mainsail area: 430 sq ft (40 m²) Self-tacking jib: 194 sq ft (18 m²) Asymmetric spinnaker: 840 sq ft (78 m²) Engine: 9.9 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!
