Echo Yachts’ Superyacht White Rabbit Scores a Lot of Firsts

After four years of design and construction, Australia-based Echo Yachts launched the 276-foot custom superyacht White Rabbit last week. At almost 3,000 gross tons, not only is it the largest superyacht ever built in Australia (by a factor of two in terms of volume and magnitude, according to Echo’s sales and marketing and project manager Chris Blackwell), but it is also the largest trimaran (tri-hull) superyacht in the world. Oh, and it also takes the prize as the largest aluminum superyacht in the world. And they’re not done; it’s the first diesel electric superyacht to be built in Australia, as well, Blackwell says.

Award-winning Sorgiovanni Designs , also headquartered in Western Australia, teamed up with aluminum high-speed and multihull design specialists One2Three Naval Architects, Echo Yachts in-house design team for engineering, and Alia Interiors for the fully bespoke behemoth of a yacht. The overall process was managed by senior project manager Nick Gardiner.

Sorgiovanni’s trimaran design for White Rabbit includes a 64-foot beam, which, Blackwell explains, is much larger than monohull vessels of the same length. For example, the 275-foot Feadship Savannah has a 41-foot beam, while the 279-foot Lürssen Areti boasts one of 49 feet. This extra square footage provides the owners with expansive entertaining decks and palatial interior spaces uninterrupted by walls and pillars. It also enables Echo Yachts to use the middle hull for accommodations and the port- and starboard-side hulls for the propulsion machinery, ensuring noise and vibration sources are isolated from all of the guest spaces for optimal comfort, says Blackwell.

Sorgiovanni used the additional volume to create two master staterooms, three VIP staterooms, six guest cabins, and 25 crew cabins. All told, the superyacht accommodates 22 guests (up to 30 if all berths are used) and 32 crew.

More information on the yacht’s amenities and interiors will be revealed once the yacht has successfully completed its sea trials, but Blackwell did share that a large Jacuzzi sits on the top sundeck and, in addition, White Rabbit sports a huge, three-part swim platform made up of the three hulls. The side hulls have hydraulic bridges that extend inward to reach across to the center hull, making one very large beach terrace for diving, water sports, tender operations, jet-ski tie-up—you name it. He described it as being like a marina arrangement. Plus, the center hull’s swim platform houses a hydraulic sea stair that comes up out of the deck and forms stairs and a platform that ascend up to a high dock or descend down into the water for easy in and out from the water when diving.

Designed to carry two Naiad RIB tenders (also built in Australia), White Rabbit will travel with its 167-foot catamaran shadow vessel named Charley . Echo Yachts delivered Charley in January 2017 to White Rabbit’ s Singaporean owner. According to Blackwell, it has a helipad and carries a large assortment of watercraft, water-sports gear, a diving decompression chamber, and more. Charley is meant to keep White Rabbit uncluttered and focused on the cruising, luxury accommodations, and service functions.

With its diesel-electric Kongsberg/STADT and Rolls-Royce propulsion system, trimaran hull design, and custom Naiad ride-control stabilizers, White Rabbit presents an energy-efficient, comfortable, and quiet yacht.

Echo Yachts and sales and marketing/project manager Chris Blackwell will be at the Monaco Yacht Show at the end of September.

Maxi Spindrift 2, the largest trimaran ever built

Maxi Spindrift 2 is none other than the former maxi Banque Populaire V, bought in 2013 by the Spindrift racing team, founded by Yann Guichard and his partner Dona Bertarelli. In 2012, he won the Jules Verne Trophy after 45 days, 13 hours, 42 minutes and 53 seconds.

A boat with giant dimensions

This giant trimaran and the largest maxi multihull ever built. Designed by Pascal Bidégorry , designed by VPLP Architects and built by CDK Technologies and its suppliers, it is 40 meters long, 23 meters wide, has 800 m2 of sail and can reach a top speed of 90 km/h.

It was launched for the first time in August 2008 in Lorient . The objective of the project was to build a crew multihull to achieve records and therefore a very fast trimaran in very light to medium wind conditions at all speeds.

In 2009, he won the record for crossing the North Atlantic under sail in 3 days, 15 hours, 25 minutes and 48 seconds, beating Franck Camas' record by 12 hours. During the journey, he also beat the record for the number of miles covered in 24 hours with 880 miles the first time and 908.2 miles a few hours later. Spindrif 2 belonged to Pascal Bidégorry then Loïck Peyron in 2011.

It will be the first time that the giant of the seas will be led by a single man, Yann Guichard . On board, nothing will be left to chance since each manoeuvre is exhausting, it takes 30 minutes to drop a reef and one hour to change a headsail. " I won't have the right to the slightest problem, the slightest mistake. I approach this challenge with great humility." confides the skipper.

I let you discover in video this giant of the seas. Fun and playful, she uses metaphors to realize the impressive dimensions of Spindrift 2.

The Biggest Cruising Sailing Trimaran in the World

The world premier presentation of a giant trimaran, a project by Monegasque company UltraLuxum, was recently done at Monaco Yacht Show (21 to 24 September 2011).

Constructed in carbon fiber and fitted with retractable floats, the UltraLuxum CXL harnesses the very best of 21st-century technology. She is luxurious, inhabitable and ecological. The project is sponsored by the Monaco Yacht Club, involved on behalf of the Albert II Foundation and its Wood Forever program.

On 23 September 2011, during the Monaco Yacht Show, the UltraLuxum CXL project will be unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Club, the project’s official sponsor. With her 48 meters in length and entirely constructed in carbon fibre body weighing a total of 110 tons, she is the biggest cruising trimaran in the world.

Furthermore, the giant will have a mast measuring 55 meters in height, suitable for approximately 1200m² of total sailing area. This should easily enable to navigate at a speed of between 20 and 25 knots under sail, affording passengers a perfectly comfortable ride.

The engines that are envisaged being diesel-electric will reach very comfortable speeds (approximately 15 knots) whilst consuming 40% less than a monohull of the same size.

Compared with a super yacht of the same length, the space available inside the trimaran is enormous. It can therefore be fitted out more completely for longer stays on board. For example, each of its three cabins has an en suite head.

There is also a spacious dining room, a lounge area, a flat-screen TV, an audio/video system on demand and Wi-Fi, a solarium with Jacuzzi on the fly bridge, and equipment for diving and other nautical activities. Swarovski, one of the project’s official suppliers, will ensure an innovative approach to the interior design, incorporating crystals and unique lighting features.

The furniture inside the yacht will be unique as custom made with some removable elements. Furthermore, the trimaran’s huge garage will house a supercar that is delivered with the boat; the brand of the vehicle will be revealed at the project’s launch.

Finally, the trimaran will be constructed in compliance with the requirements of operation Wood Forever, launched by the Albert II Foundation. The wood used will comply with the program’s standards.

The boat’s retractable fl oats constitute the biggest technological challenge of that project. Once tucked in (port configuration), they reduce the width of the yacht from 23 to 11 meters, which is extremely practical when seeking a berth in a port! The space inside each fl oat will be used to fit out spare cabins plus a huge technical area.

6 Best Trailerable Trimarans For Bluewater and Coastal Sailing

As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. We may also earn commissions if you purchase products from other retailers after clicking on a link from our site.

Having a boat costs a lot of money, even when you are not using it, marina fees, etc. And once it is in the water most sailors never go very far from their “home marina” and sailing will be somewhat restricted. However, what if you could fold your trimaran and put it on a trailer, store it at your house, and go to a new sailing spot the next time?

Here are 6 of the best trailerable trimaran:

• The Dragonfly series
• Corsair Series
• Windrider 17

Choosing the best trailerable trimaran (a multi-hull with three “hulls”) will depend on crucial factors like speed, durability, design, and ease of transportation. This article is here to help you get started with your research and hopefully help you on the way towards your dream boat!

Table of Contents

Cruising Trimarans That Can Be Transported

Cruising boats are made for multiday sailing either on the coast of your favorite sailing area or full-out blue-water ocean crossings. Extended living should be a priority in these designs.

1. The Dragonfly 25 and 28 (Dragon Fly Series)

Dragonfly is in the business of making the “best foldable trimarans on the planet” many would agree with this statement. Dragonfly is known for its commitment to easy trailering and ease of use, shown in designs for the Dragonfly 25 and Dragonfly 28.

The “Swing Wing” system on the linchpins is one of the key features of the dragonfly series. The system’s application makes it possible for the trimaran to narrow its beam as much as 50%.

Attesting to its Scandinavian manufacturing, most parts of the trimaran are made in-house. This guarantees quality and ensures that all used parts are above standard.

You don’t need to look further than the Dragonfly 25. Its centerboard slightly offset to port. Extra space is created in the main hull’s interior with a trunk buried under a settee. Performance-wise, the low drag and narrow hull shape allow the boat to reach blistering speeds.

Dragonfly 28 In Numbers

• Length: 8.75m
• Beam folded: 2.54m
• Max crew: 5-7 people
• Max Speed: 22+knots

Dragonfly 25 In Numbers

• Length: 7.65m
• Beam folded: 2.30m
• Max crew: 4-6 people
• Max Speed: 21+knots

2. Farrier F-22

New Zealand enters the trimaran manufacturing race with this premium sea goer. The vessel comes in two different versions: a performance variation with more horsepower and a full cabin cruising version. 

Compared to the dragon series the F-22 has the biggest allowance for space.

The F-22 is known for being one of the easiest trimarans to fold and load.

The sports version of the F-22 has some really good performance to offer. It has an aggressive spirit: you can mount a sail while leaving plenty of space for the boat’s fine entry and flared forward sections. The build quality is also topnotch—a lasting memorial to a principle that Ian Farrier always worked by: excellence.

Farrier F-22 In Numbers

• Length: 7.0m
• Beam folded: 2.5m
• Max crew: 3-5 people
• Max Speed: 20+knots

3. Corsair Series

This boat series has an exciting history. Farrier created it to promote his trailerable tri concept. However, the series is now independent with a top-class vehicle to its name.

The Corsair 760 is listed as providing some of the best performance and safety benefits to sailors.

Building off the spirit of excellence of the founder, the Corsair 760 has created a boat with comfort and racing potential. The boat can be tricky to handle at first, but it will be a breeze once you get the hang of it.

It is also worth noting that the corsair 37 is the largest trailerable trimaran on the market today.

Daysail Trimarans That Can Be Transported

Boats that are made for dayssailing are usually smaller, cheaper and more easily handled. They are perfect for those looking to enjoy a full day on the water in calm weather, but are usually less suitable for multiday events or rough sea sailing.

4. The Astus Models (20ft, 22.5ft, and 24ft)

If you’re looking for something small but still capable of doing day sailing, this 22.5-foot trimaran is for you. Built for speed and maneuverability, the Astus 22.5 has optional foils to optimize speed.

The modern design, coupled with the spacious interior, can fit up to four beds. Accordingly, this trimaran is suited for family outings. 

The Astus brand specializes in transportable trimarans, worth noting is that some models need a specific trailer whilst the smaller boats use a standard trailer.

5. Weta 14.5

The 2019 Weta trimaran is a 14.5-foot (4.4-meter) trimaran featuring a carbon frame, centerboard, rudder foil, and rudder shock. The hull is made from fiberglass and foam. The Weta is built for strength and speed based on these lightweight materials. 

The 2019 Weta trimaran is easy to sail and is worth considering whether you want to take a quiet sail, race with your friends, or take kids to a sailing lesson. It has a simple design and is easy to set up independently.

The small size makes it more suitable for daysailing in good weather rather than multiday cruising, although more experienced sailors will of course push the limits of this boat.

6. WindRider 17

The 17.4-foot (5.3-meter) WindRider 17 is one of the more versatile trimarans in the market. It packs high performance for a low cost. This trimaran has a light rotating mast to boost performance, and a full-battened mainsail optimizes visibility. 

This sailboat is made from rotomolded polyethylene, which is more durable than fiberglass and demands less maintenance.

The WindRider 17 has a comfortable interior and can fit six adults. This is an ideal choice for social sailing for a couple or a family and friends. It’s easy to ride, and a shallow draft allows easy maneuverability. 

What’s the Largest Trailerable Trimaran?

The largest trailerable trimaran is the Corsair 37 , this multihull is built for single-handed cruising while still maintaining the ability to comfortably seat 6 people.

The Corsair 37 provides comfort, speed, and safety. It also contains just enough space to accommodate amenities like a propane stove, a sink, and other equipment.

The vessel is designed to be a performance cruiser. It features an aluminum rotating wing mast, carbon fiber bowsprit, and premium deck hardware. The corsair can still cut through the water with ease despite its size, putting the wind in your sails.

What Is a Catamaran?

A catamaran is a boat with two hulls (a trimaran has three) connected by a bridge deck. Catamarans usually offer more space than both monohulls and trimarans of the same length. The catamaran is usually somewhat slower than a trimaran but faster than a monohull. They are usually made of fiberglass or carbon fiber.

Catamarans come in all shapes and sizes. You can find straightforward sailing catamarans, perfect for those who are only starting their sailing journey. Larger sailing catamarans have become extremely popular for long-distance sailing.

There are also power catamarans, they have huge diesel-powered engines (sometimes electric) and no sails. Also called “power cats”, these boats can reach 30+kts.

Can a Trimaran Be Trailerable?

As discussed above, some trimarans are possible to put on a trailer and move to another sailing area or to be stored at home. This is usually not possible with catamarans but is sometimes possible with the trimarans that are fitted with foldable amas (the two outer “floats” or “hulls”).

Some trimarans can be trailerable, this is mainly due to the ability to drastically decrease the vessels beam, sometimes as much as 50%. This allows the trailer plus trimaran to be below the legal requirements of the road.

Final Thoughts

It has proven difficult to beat the trimaran in terms of speed. Through the ages, this type of vessel has proven to be immensely enjoyable in all kinds of sailing activities. These can range from sea adventures to waterborne relaxation in your free time.

Trimarans come in various types, foldable, for cruising or racing, etc. However, there is a common factor: many of the small ones are trailerable. This makes them easier to move than most other types of boats.

World's biggest trimaran superyacht White Rabbit delivered

Echo Yachts has delivered its 84 metre trimaran motor yacht  White Rabbit .

The yacht, which is now the largest trimaran superyacht in the world, was handed over to her owner on October 31 and is the final stages of preparation for departure to Singapore next week.

It comes after the yacht was launched on September 1. She then underwent extensive sea trials off the Western Australian coast.

The yacht was first unveiled at an event held at the Australian yard in August. The evening included VIP speeches, video documentary of the build and a sound and light show.

Guests were given the opportunity to step on board and view some of  White Rabbit's  exterior entertainment spaces. The event was attended by the owner and family.

Originally intended for a 2017 delivery, the 84 metre trimaran was designed by Sam Sorgiovanni with One2Three developing the naval architecture.  White Rabbit  will offer huge interior volumes with the ability to accommodate up to 12 guests.

White Rabbit  is the biggest superyacht ever built in the country and will be delivered to an experienced owner who owns a number of other multihull superyachts. These include a 51 metre shadow catamaran vessel, also built by the Henderson based yard, which will be used as a support craft for the 84 metre superyacht.

Built in fibreglass with cutting edge vacuum infusion processes and high-tech laminates, the catamaran, named Charley , was designed by LOMOcean in New Zealand to house a fleet of 11 watercraft including a 12 metre catamaran.

Echo Yachts director Mark Stothard said he was "very proud" of White Rabbit , describing the yacht as a project "many other builders would shy away from."

He added: "We are very grateful to our client for pushing us and backing us all the way in these endeavours. The net result is that the yacht we are about to hand over is truly world class and a credit to everyone involved."

Designer Sam Sorgiovanni added: "There is a great sense of pride that comes from seeing the launch of  White Rabbit . It’s not just the time that it took to build the yacht but more so from history and the fact that my career started here and with many of the people involved in the project."

The world’s two largest trimarans launched by Latitude Yachts

Launching the world’s largest trimaran would be a feat worthy of mention in iteself, but Latvian based yard, Latitude Yachts have gone one better! Latitude Yachts has launched two 53 metre multihulls simultaneously. Together they hold the record for the world’s largest trimarans.

The two new trimarans called Galaxy and Galaxy of Happiness were launched in Riga in early May 2016. They are now undergoing extensive sea trials prior to delivery to their new owner in UAE.

The dramatic and futuristic design and sleek silver exterior created by Jean-Jacques Coste look more akin to a spacecraft than a superyacht. If you see one of these vessels approaching you, it will be a sight never to forget!

The interior was designed by Latitude Yachts and Jean-Jacques Coste and features an owner’s cabin and two guest cabins.

Valdis Irbe, co-owner of Latitude Yachts, said: “This was a great challenge for me and I was brave enough to agree to bring this project to life.

The 53m trimaran project has been under development for nearly 30 months and the dual launch propels Latitude Yachts into the superyacht limelight.
