    even better pic right there! I think what I like is that it doesn't look like a 60! looks like a comfy 48 or something.

    Paul must have felt like a million dollars that day! The first time under sail is just so sweet!

    I don't do Facebook for various reasons.

    Wish they would post some new info here on the forum.

    Thanks Doug.

    You know I like sailing trimarans very much (particularly shorthanded), but I still don't think they compare that favorable with catamarans for overall livability for cruising.

    Boy, how Vietnam has changed :!:

    I am really loving this boat. But I love the gage line 'world fastest production cruising...' I guess they don't want any comparisons to Paradox.

    It really is an interesting build.

    Is Paradox a "production cruising trimaran"?

    Nope, that was my point. Though everything is in place if you want to buy one. They already have what they need to go into serial production except the orders.

    Hi Stumble ,

    We actually are in production with hull number 2 well under way for a Kiwi Couple who love it enough to buy one . Launch date for Hull 2 approx Oct Nov 2016 .

    It is almost a copy of Hull number 1 except for the controversial graphic design !

    Paul,

    I really wasn't trying to compare the Rapido to the Paradox. Two very different boats, I just liked the '...production cruiser...' Tag line. I found it numerous.
