MAGNUM 21

RETRACTABLE CENTREBOARD

The easily retractable centreboard makes sailing Magnum 21 trimarans upto and onto a beach a natural activity.
So when you are exploring those inviting offshore islands you can get right in close. Even go ashore for a bar-b-que. No need for a tender.

TRIMARANS ARE INHERENTLY STABLE

With a volume of 350 litres per float it would take about 4 people standing on one to submerge it. Put another way this means that the bouyancy or lift provided by one float is equivalent to 4 people standing on the other one!

And if you actually get four people standing on the windward float then, with the additional buoyancy of the leeward float, you have the equivalent of eight people standing on the trimaran's windward float! So the Magnum 21 is inherently secure and stable and can withstand quite a gust quite easily without capsizing.

THE PERFECT SHAPE

When it comes to making way fast the Magnum 21's greatest assets are its sleek hull shape and slim hydrodynamically efficient floats. It bears comparison with a sand shark! Spot the sand shark... !!!
The Magnum 21 was born out of the common desire that all boat owners have for a boat that is just a little bigger than the one they currently own. In this case it was the owners of the revolutionary VirusPlus.
So to create the hulls for the new Magnum 21, Noël Louvet, the designer of this innovative, trimaran concept, commissioned the same naval architect, Guy Saillard, who designed this spectacular wind-surfboat that was designed to cross the Pacific. Spot the similarity.

SIMPLE RIGGING

Fitted with a furling jib to make life easy for you, the rigging has been kept simple whilst offering all the essential features for trimming your sails properly.

SLEEPS SIX

All your gear could be stowed in the holds. The trampolines overlap the sides and have pockets built into them for extra storage space. You can see on this picture that the gunwale has been extended laterally to sweep water away from the crew and to make sitting on it more comfortable.
Sail-camping or bivouacing has never been so comfortable. You could sleep two on each trampoline and one on each side of the centreboard. So expeditions become very affordable with the Magnum 21 trimaran.

MAXIMISE YOUR TIME SAILING

The Magnum 21 is easy to assemble and dismantle with VirusBoats patented clamps and quick release trampolines. No tools required.
