The idea behind the Rapido range of owner-operated ocean cruising trimarans came from the team that has built more than 1500 production trimarans globally. Paul Koch the co-founder of Rapido Trimarans has been in the multihull building business for 30 years first in Australia and then as owner of Corsair Marine in the USA and later in Vietnam for 16 years. Beginning around 1996 the French builder Catana was one of the first companies to manufacture fully found cruising cats for private ownership and this Christophe Barreau design which enjoyed a nearly 10-year production run from 1997-2006 was emblematic of this first generation of safe fun long-legged offshore voyagers.
