My sailing has been on the original model which I have owned for 10 years.

Trimaran top speed. Being able to average 9- 10 knots on a catamaran rather than 6-7 knots on a monohull will give you more options in your strategy to avoid bad weather. Personally I find the most important benefit of speed of a multihull is the ability to outrun bad weather. The best small cruising trimaran so far remains the F22.

78 ft 24 m Beam. Its top speed is 5 knots more than 25 times the top speed of the winner monohull in the 2007 tournament. Check out Cruising Worlds list of catamarans that most significantly changed the boat-design game.

32 knots 593 kmh Range. Just how efficient is best exemplified again by way of comparison. 4 ft 12 m Draft.

This is a small trimaran that includes many interesting features within a compact space. 2 400 kW 540 hp Cummins Mercruiser. 12000 nautical miles 22224 km from 12000 litres 2640 imp gal of fuel capacity.

And neither the boat nor the man looks ready to slow down any time soon. It features a swan design and can be purchased in two versions racing or cruiser form. The WR-17 is now made with a slightly altered design.

Cruising speeds of over 8 knots are uncommon. TSY40 delivers a top speed of 40 knots powered by triple engines and water jets. ZF 305A single speed Speed.
