The main and jib are combined around 100 ft2 and the screacher is 60 ft2.

Weta trimaran top speed. With a bit of a breeze on you can reach speeds of 20 knots. The higher the number the faster speed prediction for the boat. I gybed downwind from Itchenor to Hayling Island SC and then beat back again in double quick time.

In an average wind speed of 10-15 knots with one gust up to 20 knots the Weta flew along but felt stable and easy to handle at all times. In testing this sail has worked very well over a wide wind range. My sailing has been on the original model which I have owned for 10 years.

It was a lot of boat with a lot of sail and anything more than a moderate breeze was. The big cruising cats certainly offer sumptuous accommodations but they lumbered in the fickle 10- to 12-knot breeze that touched down and lifted off the bays green water. In August 2014 the Weta 2015 was announced with sails supplied by North Sails cut to the same dimensions as the original Gaastra sails.

The first boat that I ever soloed was a Force 5 from AMF at 12 years old. An excellent sea boat a Weta is built for speed. The apparent wind created by the propulsion of the EP helps generate the additional speed.

Wetas at Rock - Patrick Lyon. Bare pole only the speed drops a couple tenths. I was pessimistic in my expectations of this boat.

Sadly this excellent little trimaran is no longer manufactured and so must be purchased second-hand. The Weta in Action Find a local dealer. A robust and versatile trimaran.
