Rapido 60, Hull #02, Romanza | Proven and available

1. Introduction
In the world of high-performance sailing, few names command as much respect as the Rapido 60. Known as the “Queen of the Oceans,” this trimaran was designed by the legendary Morrelli & Melvin to bridge the gap between blistering racing speeds and true luxury cruising. While most multihulls force a choice between comfort and performance, the Rapido 60 offers both: the stability of a 60-foot platform that heels only 5-10 degrees, and the lightweight carbon-composite construction that allows it to outrun almost anything on the horizon.
But among the elite fleet of Rapidos, one vessel stands out with a pedigree of its own: Hull #02, Romanza.
The Legend of Romanza
Romanza is not just any Rapido 60; she is a proven champion and a master of the Pacific. Renowned in the southern hemisphere for her dominance in the New Zealand racing circuit, Romanza has consistently demonstrated the raw power and engineering excellence that Rapido is famous for.
Why Romanza is Exceptional:
-
Proven Pedigree: Having famously conquered the Coastal Classic and numerous other challenges in New Zealand, Romanza is a “dialed-in” machine. Every piece of rigging and every sail choice has been optimized for peak performance.
-
Unmatched Versatility: While she has the soul of a racer, Romanza is fully equipped for the ultimate live-aboard lifestyle. Her spacious, open-plan interior provides a level of comfort usually reserved for heavy cruising catamarans, yet she retains the agility to hit speeds in excess of 25 knots.
-
Meticulous Maintenance: As a flagship for the brand’s capabilities, she has been maintained to the highest standards, ensuring that her composites heart remains as stiff and responsive as the day she was launched.
-
The Ultimate “Turn-Key” Opportunity: For a sailor who wants to skip the waitlist and step directly into a vessel that is already battle-tested and refined, Romanza offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of trimaran history.
Whether you are looking to cross oceans in record time or anchor in a remote bay where no monohull would dare to venture, Romanza is ready for her next chapter. She is more than a boat; she is a passport to the fastest, most stable, and most exhilarating cruising experience on the water today.
