When you switch from motorboats to sailboats in the way that Aquila Power Catamarans has, or from trimarans to catamarans, like Rapido Trimarans, and now from catamarans to trimarans with Independent Catamaran, it’s enough to make marketing teams tear their hair out! Nevertheless, these transitions clearly demonstrate the dynamism of our sector.
Five years ago, the Czech-based shipyard offered us its IC36, a particularly high-performance and well-finished model. Today, there is a complete range of 52-, 58-, and 66-foot trimarans! These multihulls combine attractive design, performance, comfort, and ease of handling. The Kairos will, of course, be perfect for racing. Independent Catamaran is also preparing a range of catamarans called Aion, that we’ll be investigating very soon.
