At Rapido Trimarans, we believe that real performance is best shown, not told.
And this week, we’re lucky enough to have two incredible video clips (spoiler alert: one amazing video is recylcled) that capture exactly what Rapido is all about: speed, stability, and uncompromising multihull design.
Picomole — Rapido 53XS Leading the Fleet in the ARC Rally
Right now, Picomole, the Rapido 53XS, is making waves across the Atlantic; convincingly leading the multihull division in the ARC Rally.
The latest footage shows her absolutely blitzing the fleet, carving through the ocean with power, grace, and confidence. In the video below, Picomole drives hard toward the horizon and, in the process, overhauls a 75′ monohull that initially sits well ahead. The monohull then falls from Picomole’s beam to her wake, before being lost in her seaspray.
World-class design, together with a world class build team produce a level of performance that shrinks distances on the ocean.

Caption above: The 75′ monohull is no match for Picomole, the Rapido 53XS, as she slides behind, lost in Picomole’s sea spray. Picomole powers on, chasing the horizon in the Arc Rally 2025.
Spike — Rapido 40 #012 Dominating in the BVIs
Tidal Pulse Media are replaying some of their best moments through 2025.
Among their best moments is some epic footage of Rapido 40 #012, Spike, which delivered an unforgettable performance at the BVI Sailing Regatta.
Tidal Pulse Media write, “The reel we’re sharing today captures Spike at her very best—fast, light, responsive, and unmistakably Rapido”.
It’s a perfect showcase of how a well-sailed R40 becomes an extension of its crew: fluid, fast, and thrilling.
Why These TWO Videos Matter Right Now
What you’re seeing in these clips is the pure DNA of every Rapido we build.
And next week, we’re taking that DNA to the next level.
