Redesigned by Norths in 2017 the bi-radial cut mainsails provide manageable high performance in all conditions.

Weta trimaran hull speed. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded though it may exceed this speed given enough power. LWL ratio the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed. The main hull of the Weta is narrow 1050mm and the wave piercing floats only 200mm which allows it to plane upwind in 10 knots of wind at around 10-12 knots speed and off the wind it does around 14-20 knots depending on the windsea state.

Latest News Events. It can be sailed single handed or with up to three adults. Inspection port on the weta flaots upgrading will find a better solution since they seem to.

I gybed downwind from Itchenor to Hayling Island SC and then beat back again in double quick time. Even when not planing they will travel much faster than what the hull speed formula predicts. DL Disp 2240 001LWL3.
