    Hello,

    I'm am looking for a recent design of a 20/21ft trimaran...
    I have only seen the Magnum 21 (www.virusboats.com).

    Is the other trimaran like Magnum 21 ? ( Dragon fly 800 and F24 are too expensive for me)

    Thanks very much in advance,
    Bertrand

    For a familial, fun, coastal cruising, or day boat program it's the lone small tri I know. It's not a racer; it's a fun boat. As it has a small rig it's not very fast in light weather upwind. It has excellent reputation, the sales success shows it.

    I do not know of another small tri having the same program, the other being pure racers of about 20 feet, or being bigger and heavier (about 24-25 feet). You have also Raven, a race foiler with a very different program.

    I've answered in english althought I could use french. Si le Magnum ne vous plaît pas, il ne reste plus que le fait sur mesure à 2 fois le prix...

    Bertrand,

    Multihulls World did a comparision test in July/Aug 2004 issue between the Magnum 21 and two other camp cruising multihulls. One is a tri called the Tricat 22, the other a cat, the Drake 18.

    The Tricat appears to be somewhat more expensive than the Magnum and comes in either a Raid version with keels, or a sport version with daggerboards.

    see Tricat

    All the best, Tad
