ORPHIE 29 - Pocket-Sized Electric Trimaran For Day Sailing - Multihulls World

► Full test to discover in Multihulls World #183: https://www.multihulls-world.com/essais/moteur/orphie-29-fun-economical-operation-and-maybe-visionary ► Designers Jean Marc Piaton and Clément Bercault have created a trimaran powered by a 50 kW Torqeedo Deep Blue electric motor. Thanks to its moderate displacement and especially the narrowness of its hulls, this multihull can maintain a cruising speed of 10 to 12 knots with a range of 30 nautical miles. The Orphie 29 has been designed to accommodate 6 to 10 people: the table of 6’7” x 2’8” (200 x 80) cm is in the shade and can accommodate the whole crew while the trampolines will be great for hanging out in the sunshine. Inside, a mini-cabin: this space is dedicated mostly to storage but there’s a small bunk that could be used by a child, and there’s also a toilet. This trimaran is simple, elegant and integrates sustainable and environmentally friendly materials in its plywood epoxy construction. That said, for the sake of keeping it light and rigid, the linking arms are made of carbon. There will be a full test in a forthcoming issue of Multihulls World. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Builder: Orphie Boats Architects: Piaton/Bercault Material: Plywood/Epoxy Length: 29’6” (8.98 m) Beam: 17’5” (5.30 m) Draft: 14” (0.35 m) Displacement: 4,080 lbs (1.85 t) Engine: Torqeedo 50 kW Batteries: 40 kWh BMW i3 ► 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!
