TRICAT 6.90 Trimaran - Strong Wind Boat Review Teaser - Multihulls World

► Full test in Multihulls World #179:
www.multihulls...
► All first sea trials for the Tricat 6.90. Antoine Houdet, CEO of Tricat is at the helm alone and in a good breeze!
Specialists in folding trimarans since 2003, Tricat have just launched a new model which fits between the Tricat 20 and the 25. In order not to (re)tread on the toes of any former models from the shipyard in this category (the 22 and the 23.5), they decided to integrate the metric system: so now you have the Tricat 6.90! We had the opportunity to test this model in particularly heavy conditions: at just 7 meters (22’8”) long, it showed itself to be as safe as it is fast. While the central hull is relatively traditional with its almost plumb bow and its very high chines. The floats are more modern, with a flush gunwale and a broken and inverted bow in the upper section. The main innovation of this new model is the removal of the traditional aft beam, freeing up circulation around the cockpit, especially for the helmsman. For the interior, some well thought-out packages and options allow you to increase the level of comfort.

I like the design of the amas. They cut through the water and don't bury.

That looks like a lot of fun!

[@user-pb2xx5ir2x]

Thats the max for this boat, atleast he sailed it to the max.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Really nicely designed small boat. Like the simple daggerboard control. Based on the size and float designs, seems intended for bays and relatively protected waters. Any taller waves would bury the windward float. Thanks much for the video!

This looks like both fun - who doesn't like a fast boat? - and a lot of effort. How long can one ride the waves like this before one falls flat on one's face with exhaustion?

[@MultihullsWorld]

For once, we had really wind during a test - not our style to stay at the quay!

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Looks easy to me. The daggerboards are providing some lift and are easy to operate. The boat tacked easily. Note that this was an unusually windy day.

Il a l air d etre bien ce bateau

[@markandoyo2204]

How many length with this vessel? is it seaworthy in the maritime Pacific?

It's 6.9 meters long. Not really intended for crossing oceans.

[@markandoyo2204]

@@MultihullsWorld I don't really remember that how I commenting this type of questions, I only remember I asking a question for seaworthiness, expect my every social media haunted with ghosted hostility, and I only retreived this notification today whilst I've basically commenting since last year
