Launched in 2020, this striking trimaran represents Rapido Trimarans' entry into the performance cruising market with design expertise from renowned naval architects Morrelli & Melvin. Built in Hong Kong using advanced infused carbon foam sandwich construction, the Rapido 40 delivers an impressive combination of speed, comfort, and seaworthiness that appeals to sailors seeking multihull performance without sacrificing cruising amenities. The boat's fractional sloop rig features a rotating carbon spar that optimizes sail shape and efficiency across varying wind conditions. With a generous sail area-to-displacement ratio of 48.05, this trimaran offers exhilarating sailing performance while maintaining the stability that makes multihulls attractive to cruising sailors. The nearly 29-foot beam provides exceptional interior volume and deck space, creating comfortable living areas that rival much larger monohulls. Designed for both coastal cruising and offshore passages, the Rapido 40 attracts sailors who prioritize speed and efficiency over traditional cruising boat layouts. The relatively shallow 7.15-foot draft opens access to shoal waters and smaller harbors, while the advanced carbon construction keeps displacement remarkably low for enhanced performance. This trimaran suits experienced sailors comfortable with multihull handling characteristics who desire a fast, modern cruising platform.
