A roaring ride: Corsair's new 760
The second major manufacturer of trailerable tris has relaunched its volume model. First test on the Schlei

They are now designed as wave piercers and provide much more buoyancy, which, along with width, is the decisive criterion for the stability of a trimaran.

The 7.40 metre long Tri costs 82,000 euros from Kappeln.
