First look: Rapido 50 folding trimaran

• June 9, 2021

The recently launched Rapido 50 will share many of the same characteristics of her predecessors as a performance folding trimaran that should turn heads

When launched in 2016 the Morelli and Melvin-designed Rapido 60 quickly established this brand as a new breed of ultra-fast, yet practical, performance cruising/racing trimaran

The Vietnam-based builder has two further models in development, at 40ft and 50ft. Both are folding multihull designs, which enables them to slip into a regular monohull marina berth and reduces storage costs when ashore.

Construction of the Morelli and Melvin design is of infused carbon foam sandwich, with beams, daggerboards and rudder made of pre-preg carbon. The central hull is configured for single-level living, with the cockpit and deckhouse both on the same level, although the Rapido 50 has a higher helm station to give a clear view over the coachroof.

Polars for this model show it being capable of well over 20 knots of boat speed across a wide range of reaching wind angles, and as much as 18 knots beam reaching in just 14 knots of breeze. The first Rapido 50 was built for delivery to an owner in Palma, Mallorca.

Rapido is also working on a 40-footer with curved C-foils and T-foil rudders. As well as offering a performance boost, without the control issues of a fully foiling boat, these allow the interior to be opened up as there’s no need for a daggerboard in the central hull.

The result looks to be a very enticing high performance yacht with a civilised two-cabin interior and acres of deck space.

Base prices are ex works, ex sails and electronics, and with aluminium spars.

Boat Anomaly: Rapido 40 Trimaran

• April 19th, 2023
• Sailing Yacht

Being present at boat shows I always try to find interesting sailboats to write about. Right now, roaming the pontoons of La Grande Motte Multihull boat show, I detected an anomaly, so to say, but one in the best sense of the word: The Rapido 40 trimaran caught my attention right away. It was not so much the boat itself as a whole, but the sheer number of small details – summing up to an exciting package.

People with “eyes” will notice the Rapido 40 right away: A mast with a considerable rake can be seen on so many boats, especially multihulls, but a spreaderless rigging is an exemption. This kind of rigging is normally reserved for strictly pro-racing yachts and regarding the Rapido 40 just a first harbinger of what this boat is entitled to be.

A seemingly limitless attention to details

Nearing myself the berth of this trimaran, which was moored a bit off at one of the pontoons more far away from the big brands and production cats, I quickly start to notice many more deciding details. The standing rigging, for example, is made of carbon fibres . This so-called “soft rigging” offers many advantages over steel wiring but of course comes with a hefty price tag.

Spreaderless mast, soft rigging – the consequence should be a rotating wing mast. Those type of masts can be tilted by the skipper and thus optimize airflow on the mainsail significantly. This is as well a feature we only know from pro-racing .

Operating such a mast requires thorough knowledge and capabilities of the skippers. Rapido most certainly is not a boat you should choose as your first boat. And if so, you should book some thorough classes with pro-skippers and people who know how to handle this gear. The outcome, this is for sure, of having such a variety of trimming tools at hand, is high speed and stunning performance.

Looking at the daggerboard´s shape, for example, reveals that the Rapido trimaran was made by absolutely dedicated specialists. This daggerboard is not just shaped nicely to cut through water and minimize leeway, by looking at the drop-shaped hydrodynamically optimized form of the cross-section reveals that this is true high-tech.

Rapido´s mission: Creating the best ocean cruising Trimarans in the World

As the website states, Rapido´s mission is to simply make and offer the best ocean cruising trimarans in the world. In this, the Hong Kong-based company is completely focusing on the highest level of construction and design. The carbon fiber in this respect is their material of choice.

Seemingly everything about the Rapido 40 is made of carbon composite. As many, many parts are lacquered and painted white, like the pulpits for example, I have the feeling that this is done for protection and aesthetics, but also to kind of “hide away” or add a bit of understatement to the whole boat. Boasting around with this level of material-usage and craftsmanship may not be top priority of Rapido´s clients.

The appearance of the Rapido 40 is very dynamic, but as mentioned, but the boat prefers to stay in the background. Understatement is a feature of this boat. Compared to other trimarans this one looks as if it wants to downplay its aggressive and high-performance nature. A Dragonfly for example looks a loot more ready to fight – but this is just the looks.

No compromises

The brand Rapido is kind of trending right now. The brand´s name got a huge elevation recently as the guys from LA VAGABONDE announced that their next boat will be a Rapido, the “beast”, the Rapido 60. People who know are aware of this brand of course long before LA VAGABONDE joined the game. The company was co-founded by Paul Koch, who apparently was sitting aboard the Rapido 40 and welcomed his visitors personally. This guy is well known in the multihull scene.

Koch is known for his previous dedicated works at OSTAC Yachts and above all Corsair Marine, well known trimaran brands. His dedication and determination to achieve highest possible standards without sacrificing or compromising too much git him his nickname “Pioneer Paul”. Sadly, when I was aboard, he was in the midst of a conversation and I didn´t wanted to interrupt: Certainly a person I´d love to sit down and talk to in more depth. Maybe next year.

Anyways, going down into the boat´s saloon, the “Aaah” and “Wow” didn´t stop: Yepp, this boat is made entirely of carbon: Even the dinner table is made of nicely woven and glossy painted carbon fibre. As wind speeds at La Grande Motte exceeded 30 knots that day, apparently, the whole nearby beach had been blown into the marina and as such the boat was covered with a small layer of finest sand, even inside..

Full carbon build. And I mean “full”!

Looking at the pure data of this trimaran, you will get a feeling for what the shipyard has done here: The boat measures 39 feet overall and has a maximum width of just under 8 meters, float to float. Thus it weights 5.200 kilograms light displacement, thanks to the usage of carbon fibres. For comparison, the Dragonfly 40 from Denmark, already a light and fast boat, clocks in at 6.900 kilograms lightest version, 7.9 tons cruising version.

And this procession of carbon details is never-ending: Standing in the saloon I direct my eyes to the longitudinal galley and notice that here again everything is made from carbon composites. Even the drawers which I pull out are made with this material: The level of attention to details is stunning. Even for a part like this, which is normally filled with cutlery, the visible carbon layers are beautiful.

I catch myself thinking about outfitting such a boat: If everything is made without any compromise to save weight, if everything is done with carbon fibers and literally screams “I am light weight!”, which cutlery would you put into a drower like this? I mean, any steel fork or knife would compromise the idea, right?

Apart from such crazy thought-experiments, the layout of the saloon and the galley´s size are absolutely fine for a trimaran. Already limited in internal volume, the makers of the Rapido 40 managed to come up with a clever usage of available volume and provide for a snug, roomy and above all, light suffused interior.

Made for serious and passionate Sailors

The nav-station of the Rapido 40 has all a skipper needs to manage the boat: Main switch board, VHF and secondary displays are well within reach. Standing in that corner, the Captain will have a great view outside and won´t be away or “down” out of sight for too long. Only downside: It´s a standing workplace as there is no stool or anything to sit down – this area also double-functions as the pathway to the rear cabin.

I especially like one detail: The chart plotter is mounted to a swinging arm so that it can be used both inside and, if swung around, from the outside. This is a similar ingenious but simple solution as Seascape offers in the First 27 SE . From sailing that boat for 2 seasons I can say, it really works, protects the expensive gear and has it away from moisture, rain and thieves. Nice.

40 feet trimaran comforts

As I already mentioned, the saloon is a snug place. Of course, in dedicated cruising catamaran or more common concepts, 40 feet boats offer far, far more internal volume and as such more perceived comforts. But how much do you need? I mean, #microcruising is a real thing and if your preference is set on very fast sailing, you really do not care about buying (and moving around) empty space, which inevitably always comes with more weight. The Rapido 40 offers the minimum, bottom line of comforts and it does it with style.

The floor is made of Cork , which I liked, and the dinner table area with the U-shaped settee is raised. In this, whilst sitting here, the view is a true 360 degree panorama view with amazing outlooks on the boat quickly dashing through the seas or at anchor in a dream bay.

Cross ventilation and lighting situation inside is great: The Rapido 40 is a very light boat in terms of colors and natural light. I can very good imagine a crew, a family or a couple enjoying the quietness and peace of a berth or anchorage, maybe having a tasty dinner or an ice-cold beer, after a leg of rapid sailing. Let´s see what the boat offers internally.

Passing through the primary bulkhead, to the port side the boat´s head is situated. This shall be near the pivotal point of the boat so that even when sailing there shouldn´t bee too much motion when taking a dump . The bathroom is surprisingly big given the dimensions. Again, the volume is utilized in a very clever way. Standing height where you have to be standing, enough space to get dressed/undressed, take a shower or sit down.

I especially liked the windows. A smaller hull window which can be opened will make the head light and ventilate out some smelly air. The round hatch in the hull´s bottom is absolutely breathtaking, making the room appear in oceanic blue colors. When sailing, it must be awesome to enjoy the view here.

Cabins in the Rapido 40 Trimaran

Vis-à-vis the bathroom there is some stowage and a dry-locker for wet sailing gear . Again, Rapido´s exploit of interior volume shows the capabilities of the designers in the fore cabin, which I would dub as owner´s cabin. Three windows in the hull which all can be opened, and a skylight hatch make for perfect cross ventilation and shiny light atmosphere.

The double bed should be suitable for two adults, stowage is to starboard side mainly and a small drawer adjoining the bathroom. Again, the level of details and determination to save weight is apparent even in the cabins: The light switches are made of carbon fibers as well. Crazy.

The rapido 40 is a two-cabin boat. Going back through the saloon and kind of kneeling down wedging oneself through the back of the navigation station one reaches the aft cabin. Measurements are stunning: The mattresses of the aft cabin can easily offer sleeping space for three adults, jet this cabin, being exactly underneath the cockpit, reminds me of small the makeshift “slip-cabins” in small power boats.

Laying in these berths, you have to slip underneath the cockpit, above your head a large hatch can be opened as well. This hatch can be used to climb into the aft cabin from outside as well or, left open, to provide for fresh air. For a sailing family, I presume, this would be the cabin for the kids. I would say, my kids would absolutely love it here.

Judging from the internal volume and the size of the berths, this trimaran I´d say is a good choice for the sailing couple. Maybe with kids joining the party, although performance-wise as a father I would think twice before bringing my kids to a boat like this. If used by more than two adults, the people sleeping in the aft cabin will have to make some sacrifices, especially when having to go to toilet at night … that´s quite a long walk to the head.

Fast cruising

I step out and put myself in the cockpit of the Rapido 40. Sitting in the two steering benches, which offer comfortable seating for two adults but can also be occupied by three, I have a great view over the coachroof. The boat´s running rigging and winch layout is clearly made for single handed sailing: All lines are diverted into the cockpit.

Tiller steering is a matter of fact, a powerful autopilot will work most of the time, I assume. In this I am both surprised and excited: As high and sophisticated the level of craftsmanship, material usage and performance of the Rapido 40 may be, the minimalistic and simplistic this boat appears to be when it comes to actually sailing it.

And I guess this is the true mastery of Rapido´s makers: Making a complex machine accessible, bringing forth the fun of sailing. Making the physics of sailing, the working of a sail, of the daggerboard, hull and rudders visible and the driving of the wind through the sails a primary factor and the main topic of this boat. In this, the Rapido 40 is even a step further when it comes to uncompromised sailing than the Outremer 45, which I sailed and wrote about in my previous article .

A fascinating maritime exemption

As such, I conclude my walkaround in the Rapido 40. She is clearly a boat that will attract and impress many people but will be the choice only of a few seriously dedicated. I guess it´s a matter of the price tag itself, of course, but also of the demanding boat: We all love to look at a Porsche GT 4, but truly capable of mastering one are just a few. The Rapido 40 is a kind of it´s own in this respect.

I like the #microcruising approach, level of attention to details and the almost aggressive use of high end material. In this, the trimaran does not just waste precious carbon fibers to show off but puts it to a good use. Speed, speed and speed – achieving maximum performance and at the same time bringing back a simplistic approach to sailing. A nice and attractive combination.

La Grande Motte Multihull show once again proved that this venue is the one epicenter of multihulls, the world´s leading boat show for yachts with more than one hull. Seeing such a variety of catamarans and trimarans all together in one place, all of them in the water, some also going out to show their character in sea trials, is just great. Big brands, small one-offs; cruisers for a nice charter vacation, coastal cruising or serious circumnavigation – all in one place. Rapido is a wonderful, interesting and exciting exemption from the mass, an extreme in best sense of the word.

Table of Contents

What Is a Trimaran?

A trimaran is a multi hulled sailboat with three individual hulls; the main hull ( vaka ) and a pair of outrigger hulls ( amas ). These smaller outrigger hulls are attached to the main hull using beams. 

While trimarans have a rich history dating back nearly four millennia, these types of sailboats have only gained popularity in the late 1900s and early 2000s. 

Trimarans are primarily used as personal boats for sailing enthusiasts or racing. These sailboats draw their versatility from their lightweight design, making them faster and easier to handle at sea when compared to single-hulled boats (monohulls). Additionally, the three hulls also contribute to better stability, making it very hard to capsize (although more likely than a cat according to this study)

Trimarans come in various sizes, and some can be as small as 19 feet (5.8 meters) in length, while others go up to 60 feet (18meters). They’re also used for different purposes. Most trimarans are used for racing and recreational purposes, although some units are still used as ferries.

As with all things, to find out which is the best we need to understand what it will be used for. There is a big difference in requirements between a boat used for day sailing compared to offshore around the world sailing.

The list below highlights the best trimarans for different purposes.

Best Trimarans For Cruising, Liveaboard and Sailing Around The World

The Neel 43 is a French trimaran best suited for cruising. Its key features include: 

• Easy maneuverability on the open sea by only a small number of crew members 

This unit is also built for comfort, ideal for more extended travels. This 43-feet (13-meter) trimaran is also made with recyclable and bio-sourced materials, highlighting the manufacturer’s commitment to environmental consciousness. 

This trimaran has a base price of  €329,000 excluding VAT. This translates to approximately $370,138. 

2.Neel 47 Possibly The Best

Named the best full-size multihull for 2020, the Neel 47 is a strong contender for one of the best trimarans in the market. This 47-foot (14.3-meter) long trimaran features optimized exterior and interior ergonomics for a unique design and look. 

Still on design, the Neel 47 is ideal for couples looking to take a weekend off or spend some time as liveaboard. It has a spacious owner’s cabin and two bedrooms. It also features a spacious living room and kitchen and is optimized to ensure comfort for a couple. 

The Neel 47 also has two basic guest cabins so your friends or children can tag along on your sailing adventure. Accordingly, this unit is ideal for those looking to explore the sea for the sheer joy of sailing. 

The Neel 47 comes at a 571,139 euro ( $643,600 ) price tag, excluding VAT. 

3. Rapido 60 The Fast and Comfortable Circumnavigator

The Rapido 60 offers a blend of performance, safety, and luxury, making it one of the best options for bluewater sailing. Measuring 59.3 feet (18 meters) in length, the Rapido 60 is an imposing unit. It’s made from lightweight sandwiches and carbon materials that provide speed and strength, allowing it to stand up to strong ocean currents. 

The Rapido 60 also has spacious living spaces and is built for comfort at all points of the sail. Its design also optimizes safety. While it’s an ideal option for circumnavigating, it’s also an excellent choice for racing due to its speed. 

This is also the same boat that The Youtube channel La Vagabond just purchased.

The Rapido 60 retails at $1,400,000 . 

4. Rapido 40

The Rapido 40 measures 39.4 feet (12 meters) in length and is ideal for cruising around the world. The Rapido 40 features twin “C” foils, which provide added lift, enhancing its speed and performance whether you are sailing downwind or upwind. 

Because it has C foils, this trimaran doesn’t have a central daggerboard, increasing interior space. Accordingly, it’s an excellent option for couples looking to cruise and enjoy great performances .

The Rapido 40 is made from high-tech all-carbon materials for a lightweight yet sturdy design. This material is also used for the countertops and furniture, and the cork flooring adds a touch of style.

This trimaran retails for $595,000 , making it a cheaper option than the Rapido 60. 

5. Dragonfly 40

The Dragonfly 40 measures 40 feet (12 meters) in length. It features high-comfort standards, making it one of the best trimarans in the market for taking your family for a cruise. Because of its larger size, it has a better capacity, being capable of accommodating six to eight people, so you can bring your family and friends along. 

It’s easy to navigate and extremely safe. With a maximum speed of 24 knots (44.5 km/h), this trimaran also provides fast speeds to make your cruise even more exhilarating. 

The Dragonfly 40 retails from €509,000 exclusive of VAT, which rounds up to $572,000 . 

6. Dragonfly 32

The Dragonfly 32 is a high-performance cruiser. Like the Dragonfly 28, this unit features a contemporary design for racing. This trimaran can accommodate five to seven crew members. 

Although slightly longer than the Dragonfly 28 with its 32-foot (9.8-meter) length, the Dragonfly 32 has a max speed of 23+ knots (42.6+ km/h), making it one of the fastest trimarans for racing. This unit also has comfortable accommodation, which makes it an ideal option for a weekend cruise with family and friends. 

The Dragonfly 32 has a base price of $350,000 . 

7. Corsair 37

Thanks to a variable draft with a retractable rudder, the Corsair 37 is an ideal choice for shallow water exploration. This 37-foot (11.3-meter) long trimaran features advanced foam-cored construction designed for safety, making it virtually unsinkable. 

The carbon hulls minimize weight, this makes for a lightweight ocean exploration sailboat with blistering speeds. One of its selling points is that this trimaran has previously been used for Arctic expeditions, possibly marking it as one of the better options for circumnavigation and offshore sailing in the northern waters. 

This trimaran has a base price of $189,000 but can go up to $204,125 .

Best Trimarans For Day/Weekend Sailing

8. dragonfly 28.

• Touring version: This version is ideal for families.  
• Performance version: This is built to provide optimal performance for the sports enthusiast within you. 

It clocks a maximum speed of 22+ knots (22+ km/h) and is beam-folded. It’s an excellent option if you want a high-performance, comfortable yet smaller unit for your day or weekend cruise. 

The Dragonfly 28 starts at  €188,280 inclusive of VAT, which comes to around $211,600. 

9. Dragonfly 25

Like other trimarans under the Dragonfly brand, this 25-foot (7.62-meter) trimaran is great for both racing and short term cruising. However, this high-performance boat delivers easy handling, making it perfect for couples looking to take a ride out over the weekend and seasoned sailors looking for an exhilarating racing adventure. 

The Touring version features a lightweight build and offers comfort and accommodation to keep you, and the few guests you can fit, comfortable during the ride. This trimaran also has a Sport version, which is optimized for racing. 

The Dragonfly 25 retails from EUR 86,800 . 

10. Pulse 600

The Pulse 600 trimaran is a compact sailboat. It’s made from lightweight, carbon-reinforced construction and vacuum-formed materials for optimal speed. This trimaran is an ideal option if you are looking for speed. 

It also features ample deck space, greater stability, and volume than most trimarans of similar size and build. 

This trimaran measures 19.8 feet (6 meters) in length and can be sailed single-handedly by one person with minimal effort. The Pulse 600 has a base price of $38,800 , which places it in the lower price range. 

The F-22 is one of the smaller trimarans in the market. Developed in New Zealand, the F-22 is a folding trimaran built for speed. The hulls are made from narrow fiberglass tied together using fiberglass beams and aluminum, minimizing bulk while optimizing speed. 

The F-22 is roomy and is not as pricey as other models in the market. This trimaran has two main versions: 

12. 2019 Weta Trimaran

The 2019 Weta trimaran is a 14.5-foot (4.4-meter) trimaran featuring a carbon frame, centerboard, rudder foil, and rudder shock. The hull is made from fiberglass and foam. The Weta is built for strength and speed based on these lightweight materials. 

The 2019 Weta trimaran is easy to sail and is worth considering whether you want to take a quiet sail, race with your friends, or take kids to a sailing lesson. It has a simple design and is easy to set up independently. Thanks to its collapsible design, this trimaran is easily stored away with minimal space demands. 

13. WindRider 17

The 17.4-foot (5.3-meter) WindRider 17 is one of the more versatile trimarans in the market. It packs high performance for a low cost. This trimaran has a light rotating mast to boost performance, and a full-battened mainsail optimizes visibility. 

This sailboat is made from rotomolded polyethylene, which is more durable than fiberglass and demands less maintenance.

The WindRider 17 has a comfortable interior and can fit six adults. This is an ideal choice for social sailing for a couple or a family and friends. It’s easy to ride, and a shallow draft allows easy maneuverability. 

14. Astus 22.5

If you’re looking for something small but still comfortable, this 22.5-foot trimaran is for you. Built for speed and maneuverability, the Astus 22.5 has optional foils to optimize speed. The modern design, coupled with the spacious interior, can fit up to four beds. Accordingly, this trimaran is suited for family outings. 

This trimaran also has a foldable design, collapsing to only 16 feet (4.9 meters) for easy storage. 

15. Multi 23 Trimaran 

The Multi 23 trimaran has a contemporary design, featuring a vinyl ester and PVC foam core construction. The section below the waterline is made of solid glass for a sturdy base.

The beams are made of lightweight carbon, and the trimaran features a 33-foot (10-meter) aluminum rotating wing mast for optimal harnessing of the wind. While ideal for weekend excursions with family, once rigged with the asymmetrical spinnaker will get your heart pumping.

This trimaran packs high performance at a lower cost than most other options in the market. It’s a good choice if you are looking for a high-performing unit without spending an arm and a leg. 

16. Challenger Class Trimaran

The Challenger Trimaran 15 is the best choice for persons with disabilities. It’s designed to provide disabled sailors an opportunity to explore their passion for sailing without worrying about aspects like safety or operation. 

A man named Geoff Hold circumnavigated the British Isles in 2007, becoming the first disabled person to achieve this feat. He had quadriplegia. 

Living up to its name, the Challenger can withstand harsh weather conditions while blending performance with speed. 

Final Thoughts 

Admittedly, no trimaran is best for everyone. But whether you are looking to race with your friends, take your loved ones or friends for a cruise over the weekend, or circumnavigate the ocean, you can rest assured that these lightweight trimarans will deliver speed, safety, and comfort to make it worth your while. 

These brands are innovatively designed and feature intricate safety mechanisms that make them virtually unsinkable. Give them a shot and begin your ocean adventure.

New 140m trimaran concept revealed by T. Fotiadis Design and Lateral Naval Architects

Designers Theodoros Fotiadis and Lateral Naval Architects have collaborated on a new 140-metre trimaran concept named Spear. 

The yacht’s innovative, efficiency-optimised design means it would require 20 per cent less propulsion power than a 110-metre monohull at cruise speed, giving it the power demand of a much smaller yacht with around twice the useable GT (at 4650).

The yacht’s trimaran platform ensures stability at sea, and the sponsons have been specifically designed for generous tank volumes that have been envisioned for the inclusion of alternative fuels in the future, namely methanol.

"This stabilized monohull concept introduces additional advantages by offering a spacious luxury platform," explained a spokesperson for the studio. "It boasts a 40 per cent increase in the highly sought-after luxury external space, whilst keeping the internal luxury area similar to a 110-metre monohull."

Across a 23-metre beam, Spear offers expansive deck space for several swimming pools, al fresco dining areas and lounges. The beach club also benefits from unfolding bulwarks that increase the space further.

Speed has been ingrained into the design, with top speeds of 21 knots pared back to 18 knots cruising and an impressive range of 7,500 nautical miles.

Speaking of power, Spear’s propulsion system is built around a medium-speed engine often found in large commercial vessels that reportedly provides a further 15 percent fuel saving per kW compared to a typical high-speed engine. The sponsons will be able to store plenty of fuel, too, with tanks designed to hold the renewable biofuel of the future.

As for performance, Spear can reach a top speed of 21 knots and a cruising speed of 18 knots. With reduced fuel demands, the go-anywhere cruiser has an impressive estimated range of more than 7,500 nautical miles.

Seafarers will be able to explore the globe in comfort, too. With a giant beam of 75 feet and a generous interior volume of 4,650 GT, Spear offers abundant living space onboard.

The main deck is centered around a large lounge and dining area, with two generous guest staterooms positioned amidships. Upstairs, the owner’s deck features a full-beam forward-facing stateroom with a private lounge, a luxe en suite, and a private deck with views of the helipad. The owner’s deck also has an additional guest stateroom and another lounge and dining area. Crew cabins can be found on the lower deck, while the captain’s cabin sits on the bridge deck.

“With its striking streamline design, Spear combines efficiency, comfort, and expansive open spaces to create an unparallel cruising experience,” Lateral said in a statement.

Fingers crossed we see Spear hit the seas.

"OSPREY"

DETAILS ABOUT THIS BOAT

OSPREY is a fine example of a very hard-to-come-by 2016 Hunt Harrier 26 powered with the optional Yamaha 300hp outboard motor with only 215 hours. Lift-kept with custom sun covers, she shows beautifully with her Stars & Stripes blue hull, Oyster White boot stripe and black bottom. In 2018 the Yamaha outboard motor was painted to match the gelcoat and a faux teak transom was applied, nice custom touches done by the Hinckley Company. Properly maintained and serviced (full outboard motor service, with computer check and compression test, March 2022) make OSPREY a true ‘turn key’ offering. This is a great opportunity to acquire a nearly-new Hunt Harrier 26 in time for Spring!

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
