Rapido 53XS for Sale – Picomole, Hull #01

Rapido 53XS Hull #01, Picomole, is available for sale. Designed by Morrelli & Melvin and built in carbon fibre by Triac Composites, this performance cruising trimaran combines the additional accommodation of the 53XS with proven offshore sailing capability.

Few pre-owned trimarans come with such a remarkable sailing history. From taking Multihull Line Honours in ARC 2025 to crossing the Drake Passage and cruising the Antarctic Peninsula in February 2026, Picomole has demonstrated her capabilities in both competitive racing and demanding offshore conditions.

The 53XS is the Extra Space variant of Rapido’s performance cruising trimarans. Built using carbon fibre foam sandwich construction, it combines lightweight engineering with additional living space, including three double cabins, two heads and a spacious saloon.

Viewing opportunities: Please contact Rapido Trimarans for the vessel’s current location and viewing arrangements.

The Remarkable Story of Picomole

Picomole has built an impressive record across offshore racing and long-distance cruising. Her voyages have taken her across the Atlantic and into the challenging waters of Patagonia and Antarctica.

In February 2026, Picomole completed a voyage to the Antarctic Peninsula, believed to make her the first pleasure cruising trimaran to reach this remarkable destination.

Her racing achievements, combined with extensive ocean passages, provide a valuable record of the boat’s capabilities.

Why Picomole Stands Out

Proven Offshore Pedigree: From her ARC 2025 Multihull Line Honours victory to her Antarctic expedition, Picomole has demonstrated her performance and passage-making capabilities across a wide range of conditions.
High-Performance Carbon Construction: Built using carbon fibre foam sandwich construction, the Rapido 53XS combines lightweight engineering with the strength and rigidity required for offshore sailing.
Extra Space and Comfort: The 53XS provides three double cabins, two heads and a generous communal living area, offering practical accommodation for extended cruising.
An Established, Pre-Owned Yacht: With a substantial sailing history and an owner moving to a larger Rapido, Picomole presents an opportunity to acquire an existing performance cruising trimaran without commissioning a new build.

Whether the priority is offshore racing, fast ocean passages or extended cruising, Picomole offers a combination of performance, accommodation and proven experience at sea.
