Rapidos are Engineered Without Compromise
Designed by Morrelli & Melvin, world leaders in multihull naval architecture, and built by Triac Composites, specialists in advanced carbon composites, Rapido Trimarans redefines performance cruising. Each model is built with aerospace technology, ocean-proven safety, and the kind of space and stability that transforms sailing into pure freedom.
SAFETY WITHOUT COMPROMISE
At Rapido, safety is built in — not added on. Every trimaran is designed to meet and exceed CE Category A standards for unrestricted ocean sailing.
Unmatched Carbon Strength
- Carbon foam sandwich construction for a rigid, unsinkable platform.
- Pre-preg, autoclave-cured carbon components (mast, beams, daggerboards, foils, rudders) designed and built in-house for ultimate reliability.
- Synthetic rigging: lighter, stronger, and longer lasting.
Carbon strength. Two mobile cranes applied 9 tons of load onto the Rapido 60’s diagonal floats…
Watertight Security
- Multiple bulkheads in every hull — five in the Rapido 60’s main hull, four per float (ama).
- Isolated engine & equipment compartments.
Emergency Preparedness
- Escape hatches: 2 on Rapido 40; 3 on Rapido 50 & 60, including cockpit survival compartments.
- Automatic + portable bilge pumps for redundancy.
- Fire safety: automatic fire suppression systems, extinguishers, fire blanket.
- Induction cook tops eliminate LPG and diesel risks.
Helm & Control
- Elevated helm with all-round visibility under a protective bimini.
- Wide helm seat with ergonomic layout for single-handed safety.
- Direct Jefa steering: precision and reliability.
Performance = Safety
The fastest way out of danger is to avoid it. Rapido’s high-performance design means you can outrun bad weather and reach safe harbor faster.
PERFORMANCE THAT INSPIRES CONFIDENCE
Rapido Trimarans are built for exhilarating speed and control without sacrificing safety.
- Ultra-light, ultra-strong carbon construction paired with powerful sail plans.
- Advanced design tools (CFD, FEA, VPP) ensure maximum performance.
- Race-proven DNA: trimarans dominate offshore records, including Francis Joyon’s solo circumnavigation in just 57 days.
- Asymmetric C-foils and T-foil rudders for lift, speed, and control in all conditions.
- Options for daggerboards for sailors who prefer traditional setups.
Result: Ocean-crossing speed with ocean-cruising confidence.
SPACIOUS. BY DESIGN
Forget cramped sailing. Rapido Trimarans are surprisingly spacious, offering comfort and practicality at sea and at anchor.
- Wide open interiors with lightweight, custom furniture.
- Carbon countertops and finishes designed for strength and elegance.
- Ample storage for extended voyages.
- Expansive nets double as sun decks, play zones, or thrilling ocean-view platforms.
As Riley from Sailing La Vagabonde said after boarding a Rapido 60:
The only thing I was worried about was the amount of space on board. I jumped onboard, ran around and I was like, ‘Ahhhhhh! This is perfectly fine!’ The forward cabin is massive, with a huge bed. When you’re standing in the saloon, you’re actually standing in a huge room.”
STABLE AND COMFORTABLE. FOR EVERY VOYAGE
Stability is the secret ingredient that makes Rapido Trimarans comfortable offshore cruisers.
- Heel angle of just 5–10° vs. 20–35° on monohulls.
- Level decks make cooking, eating, and moving safe and practical.
- Reduced crew fatigue on long passages.
- Wide beam + lightweight design = controlled power, no broaches or knockdowns.
In short: the comfort of a luxury cruiser, with the confidence of a true performance multihull.
SUSTAINABLE BY NATURE
Rapido Trimarans are designed not only to perform, but to respect the oceans they sail.
- Lightweight carbon construction reduces fuel needs, emissions, and overall environmental footprint.
- Electric propulsion options for quiet, emission-free motoring.
- Efficient sail plans mean you spend more time harnessing the wind and less time burning fuel.
- Durability of composites ensures your Rapido has a long life cycle with less material waste.
By combining cutting-edge composites with renewable wind power, Rapido represents the future of sustainable ocean cruising.
