Rapido 40 Racer | Multihulls World

► The standard version of the Rapido 40 demonstrated impressive speed potential right from its first runs. This model, presented at the IMS at La Grande Motte in its Performance version, was accompanied by a Racer example. ► In the latter configuration, being unveiled to the public for the first time, the trimaran obviously retains the C-shaped foils and carbon rig, and it has an upwind sail area increased from 1,044 square feet to 1,211 (97 m² to 112.54). However, it is 0.7 to 1 ton lighter thanks to the absence of cruising gear and the lowering of the coachroof. The interior, which is relatively sparse, features a lowered deck to maintain as much volume as possible. The floats are particularly voluminous, obviously guaranteeing good strength. All these features could well make the Rapido 40 Racer the fastest 40-foot liveaboard multihull! In port, the floats fold inwards: the beam is reduced from 28’10” (8.8 m) at sea down to 17’1” (5.8 m). ► Technical Specifications Builder: Rapido Trimarans Architect: Morelli & Melvin Material: composite Length: 39’6” (12.03 m) Beam: 19‘/28’10” (5.8/8.8 m) Draft: 22”/4’7” (0.56/1.4 m) Displacement: 9,920/11,465 lbs (4.5/5.2 t) Mainsail: 700/793 sq ft (65/73.64 m²) Solent: 345/419 sq ft (32/38.9 m²) Motor: 29HP Price: € 726,000 ex-tax ► Sign up for our newsletter and win a free two-month subscription to Multihulls World by clicking here: https://bit.ly/48JP1Vk ► 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 600 multihulls tests!
