TrimaransREVOLUTIONARY DAY BOATS |

A new genre of DAY BOATS! Fast, safe, multihulls. It all started around the turn of the millenium with the creation by the late Noël Louvet of the MAGNUM 21 & 21S trimarans. These quick, open-cockpit, family, day boats with planing hulls swept aside the traditional concept of the short, fat, heavy, slow, day boat with ballast. After all, why carry weight around with you when the buoyancy of a float can keep you upright? VirusBoats have now ceased manufacturing the Magnum range but as about 500 were made you should have little difficulty in picking up a second hand one. Meanwhile Astus increased their range in 2013 to include a 20.2XL with a larger cabin than the original 20.2 so it is more comfortable for bigger people to sleep in and NOW even that boat has been superseded by the even more spacious 20.5.
