The Tricat 25 Evolution, a foldable and transportable trimaran

tricat trimarans

The Tricat 25 Evolution is the latest addition to the Tricat shipyard. This 7.70 metre long transportable trimaran has the particularity of folding up from 5.50 metres wide when sailing to 2.40 metres in transportable format. You will be able to discover it during the Grand Pavois which starts tomorrow.

A cleverly designed exterior

One might think that it was modelled on tricat 25 but only the central hull has been made from the same mold, albeit with a few modifications. On the outside, the folding principle remains the same, but carbon connecting arms and new floats profoundly alter the silhouette of the Tricat 25 Évolution . In addition to an aesthetic evolution, the shipyard also took the opportunity to add power to the trimaran . The sail plan has also been modified, giving it a more elegant appearance.

On the hull side, weight and rigidity have been taken care of by using a carbon-epoxy sandwich for the linkage arms, vacuum-infused like the central hull and floats. The Tricat 25 Évolution can be folded and transported without disassembly. The arms pivot aft, allowing the boat to fold.

Inside, the standard cockpit can accommodate up to 6 people, with plenty of storage space for a pleasant life on board . This is a spacious trimaran . Outside, the Tricat 25 is equipped with trampoline-covered decks. Last but not least, it has a shallow draught (20 cm), enabling it to get close to beaches.

This fast, lightweight trimaran is built from recyclable or low-impact materials, and designed in collaboration with Roland Jourdain's company Kaïros.

A layout that favours family cruising

Inside, there's a large double berth with two side berths for two more people. This trimaran is perfect for a family for a weekend or a week's sailing. The Tricat 25 Évolution also features a large interior saloon and galley area. In addition to electricity, solar panels help save energy.

Tricat 20, a habitable mini trimaran

tricat trimarans

Tricat announces a 20 feet folding trimaran for small cruising and coastal raid. A model delivered ready to sail very well equipped.

François-Xavier Ricardou

The Tricat range consists of 3 models ranging from 6m ( Tricat Acces 6) to 9.30m ( Tricat 30). So when the shipyard told us that the next model would also be 6m, we were intrigued! Why release a Tricat 20 while keeping the Acess 6 in the catalogue?

The Tricat Acess 6 has been deliberately simplified to offer an accessible trimaran (hence its name!) both in terms of use and price. Thus the Access 6 has no daggerboard (the floats have fins) and above all the floats fold against the central hull with two telescopic tubes. Simple and cheap, the counterpart of this system is to block the central hull with the tubes that cross it on both sides.

Tricat 20

The new Tricat 20 no longer plays the low cost card but the performance card. It will be part of the range alongside the Tricat 25 Evolution and the Tricat 30. The design is identical to the Tricat 30's floats, with a lot of volume forward and a positive shearing on the deck to increase the bow height. These floats are equipped with 2 sabre daggerboards.

For the linking arms, the Tricat 20 uses the same arms as the 25 Evolution with this "crossover" shape so that they don't hit the sea. Of course, these arms fold backwards, a simpler and faster handling than with the telescopic arms.

Delivered from the tubes and with a larger deckhouse, the Tricat 20 offers a beautiful habitability. Thus the front triangle accommodates a bed for 2 adults while the benches can accommodate 2 children (berths of 1.30 m).

As on all Tricat boats, the fittings remain of high quality and the sails delivered in series are in Mylar ( mainsail and jib). There is no doubt that performance and pleasure at the helm will be the order of the day with this little trimaran .

The official presentation of this new model will take place at the Düsseldorf trade fair (in Germany in January 2018). The boat will be offered at 33,800 euros including tax. By way of comparison, the Acess 6, which remains in the catalogue, is available at 28,800 euros (incl. VAT).
