While three-hulled boats have become the standard for ocean racing, the situation is quite different in the world of cruising, where catamarans are omnipresent. There are, of course, a few shipyards building smaller boats with folding arms (Astus Boats, Corsair Marine, Quorning Boats, Tricat, etc.) and two rebels among the big boys, Neel Trimarans and Rapido Trimarans. In this context, the announcement during Metstrade of a 100-foot trimaran project by Global Yacht Technology, a marine engineering company, is particularly exciting.
They’ve presented a carbon construction that should not exceed 35 tonnes (77,200 lbs)... The aim is to draw inspiration from racing for performance and sleek design, but with sufficient length to avoid compromising on volume - and therefore comfort. Capable of sailing at 25 knots, Anahita promises to cross the Atlantic in six days while offering 1,324 square feet (123 m²) of customizable interior space. For example, hull #1 features a 130-square-foot (12 m²) owner's suite. The deck plan offers 1,723 square feet (160 m²) of trampolines, forward, and 270 square feet (25 m²) of cockpit space aft, allowing guests to really make the most of their time at anchor.
The project, bearing the signatures of VPLP Design and Christophe Chedal Anglay (for interior design), also involves a number of well-known companies from Sailing Valley in Brittany, including CDK Technologies, GSea Design, Lorima, MerConcept, and Mer Forte.
The first Anahita, already sold, is currently in build, with launch scheduled for 2027.
