Nautik’All

The Trimaran as a Cruising School

At the Grand Pavois, we caught up with a familiar face in the small world of trimarans: Antoine Houdet, founder and former head of Tricat. 

After handing over the helm of the builder, he certainly hasn’t given up on three hulls, as he has created Nautik’All, a rather unusual cruising school whose main teaching tool is none other than his own Tricat 30.

Built last winter at Tricat with the help of his former colleagues, the multihull has been sailing from the Gulf of Morbihan since May 2025. A first option allows participants to discover the trimaran over the course of a day and become familiar with its specific characteristics. Antoine also offers four-day advanced courses, aimed more at Owners or future Owners who want to master maneuvers and develop the right reflexes. The program is deliberately tailored to the crew’s expectations… and, of course, the weather.

But Nautik’All also offers the opportunity to go cruising for real, and even bluewater cruising. Because at 30 feet (9 m), the Tricat 30 actually offers plenty of space: Antoine generally takes four people aboard, with a 5'3" × 6'7" (1.6 × 2 m) aft berth, a second double berth forward, a genuine separate bathroom with shower, a saloon for four and a longitudinal galley with refrigerator, sink, fresh water and seawater.

An original way to discover trimaran sailing and benefit from the experience of someone who has devoted a large part of his career to building them!
