Boat Details
Description
The unique CE A certified ocean-cruising trimaran, which is built entirely from carbon, is a game changer. It redefines safety, space, performance, stability and comfort.
SAFETY is paramount in the RAPIDO 53XS. Its carbon foam sandwich construction features four watertight bulkheads in each float and seven in the main hull, plus bow crash zones and a watertight engine compartment. Two emergency escape hatches enhance safety.
Xtra Space (XS)... This concept is a testament to its innovative design which offers three full queen-size cabins without compromising the boat's high-performance characteristics.
PERFORMANCE... The R53XS excels in performance. Its superior strength light weight carbon foam sandwich construction combined with highly efficient advanced hull shape and twin C-curve foil dagger boards enhance lift and stability enabling comfortable cruising speeds over 20 knots. Rapidos, unlike catamarans love going to wind pointing as high as the best monohulls, but faster!
STABILITY AND COMFORT... Monohulls heel 25--35 degrees and catamarans pitch and waves slam the bridge deck making for uncomfortable tiring sailing. Rapido's trimarans normally heel in the 5--8 degree range and have remarkable comfort in most sea conditions.
