About the Tremolino

Designed by renowned multihull pioneer Richard Newick in 1982, this compact trimaran represents an innovative approach to performance sailing in a trailerable package. The Tremolino's distinctive wide beam of 16.5 feet provides exceptional stability and interior volume despite its modest 22.83-foot overall length, making it an intriguing option for sailors seeking multihull performance without the complications of larger designs. Built by Tremolino Boat Co. using fiberglass construction, this fractional sloop-rigged trimaran features retractable daggerboards that enhance both shallow-water accessibility and sailing performance. With a displacement of just 950 pounds and 218 square feet of sail area, the boat delivers an impressive sail area-to-displacement ratio of 36.16, indicating spirited performance in light to moderate conditions. The Tremolino excels as a coastal cruiser and daysailer, offering the unique multihull experience of minimal heeling and impressive speed potential. Its shallow 4.33-foot draft opens up skinny-water cruising grounds typically inaccessible to deeper-draft vessels. While primarily suited for protected waters and coastal exploration, the design's Newick pedigree suggests solid construction and seaworthiness. The boat's trailerable size makes it particularly appealing for sailors wanting to explore different sailing venues without marina commitments.

Performance Ratios
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
1.62
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
6.72
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 6.14 kn
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 7.42 pounds/inch
