The trimarans are boats designed to offer unequalled comfort and ease of manoeuvre. These sailing craft behave perfectly at sea and achieve high speeds without requiring exhausting handling by the crew and without the listing of single-hulled vessels.

In comparison with the catamaran the smaller wind resistance (fardage )and a lower centre of gravity favour handling against the wind and in rough seas. The trimaran possesses one major handicap: its great width.

Triptyque trimarans are fitted with a unique patented system of hull contraction which allows them to be reduce in width by two thirds overall for manoeuvring in port, inland navigable channels, transportation, docking etc. with no dismantling required.

This system, using simple but very carefully developed geometry, allows the hulls to be gently lowered by retracting them and the stability of the vessel to be increased in that configuration.

In this way sailors will not have to suffer the categorical refusal of the harbour master, at each port of call or docking area, who is sorry that he can't accommodate your magnificent boat because it is too large.

Transportable Triptyque trimarans do not need interminable dismantling requiring the assistance of the port crane-driver but are loaded directly on the slipway using the trailer's winch. All of this is facilitated by the fact that they are very light.
