What are the Benefits of Sailing a Small Trimaran?
Small trimarans offer their sailors fun, versatile day boats. They’re noted for being generally faster, and more responsive, than monohulls. But their unique design, which includes both crossbeams and outriggers, provides a good number of other benefits also. First, they don’t have keels. This fact enables small trimarans to enjoy shallow draft capability. With the ability to go into shallow waters you’ll be able to explore coastal areas, or offshore island spots, much more easily than if you have a keel boat. Small trimarans are also trailerable because they lack long keels. You can easily put a small tri on a trailer and take it to sailing areas that would be out of reach if you had an untrailerable boat. Your sailing venues expand quite a bit when you can simply drive your boat to a new horizon and set it up in a different body of water that could take many days to otherwise reach.
