Designed by the renowned French naval architecture firm Van Peteghem Lauriot Prévost, this compact trimaran represents modern multihull technology packaged in a trailerable format. With its fractional sloop rig featuring a rotating mast, the Multi 23 delivers impressive performance characteristics that belie its modest overall length of just over 21 feet. The boat's substantial beam of 15.5 feet provides excellent stability and interior space, while the centerboard configuration allows for shallow water exploration and simplified launching. At 660 pounds displacement with 328 square feet of sail area, this trimaran achieves a notable sail area to displacement ratio of 69.34, indicating strong light-air performance and exciting sailing characteristics typical of modern racing multihulls. Built by Torpen Marine in China using fiberglass construction, the Multi 23 entered production in 2009 and appeals to sailors seeking multihull performance without the complexity of larger designs. The boat excels in coastal sailing, day sailing, and light cruising applications where speed and responsiveness are priorities. Its trailerable dimensions make it particularly attractive to sailors wanting to explore different sailing venues, while the VPLP pedigree ensures sophisticated hydrodynamics derived from their extensive experience in high-performance racing multihulls.
