6 Best Trailerable Trimarans For Bluewater and Coastal Sailing

corsair 37 trimaran

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?

corsair 37 trimaran

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.

Corsair 37CR Trimaran

One of the largest folding trimarans on the market, the corsair 37 offers both performance and cruising capabilities..

Likes - Performance - Versatile design - Functional  interior

Dislikes - Limited electrics - Undersized cleats - No bow roller

OVERVIEW Trimarans are particularly suitable boats for the myriad of shoal waters that surround Australia thanks to their shallow draft, acres of deck space and performance. Add to this Corsair Marine’s unique folding system which aids mooring and you’ve got a very compelling design. The first new Corsair 37 arrived on our shores earlier this year, no doubt spurred on by the company’s acquisition by Australia’s largest catamaran builder, Seawind, who bought the Vietnam-based builder one year ago. The brand is already well known in Australia thanks to dealers in Queensland and Sydney who have sold the range that comprises the Corsair 750, the Corsair 28, Corsair 31 and there’s also a development model Corsair 50. The smaller models are popular race boats but these quality trimarans are versatile. In cruising mode, Corsairs have crossed oceans and even gone among the icefields, so these folding boats have proved their toughness. PRICE AND EQUIPMENT The 2009-designed Corsair 37 builds on the success of the earlier Corsair 36, becoming the flagship to one of the world’s most popular folding catamaran brands, so has a proven pedigree.

Originally designed by famed Kiwi designer Ian Farrier, who worked with the California-based company from its establishment in 1985 to 2000, the brand has a substantial international following. Since then, Farrier has moved on to pen his own similar boats. The result is Farrier designed boats, denoted by "F" and the later "C", Corsair branding. About 1600 boats have been produced during the company’s history, making the brand one of the most popular, worldwide, in its class. Phil Day, Queensland Corsair dealer reckons there are about 70 boats in Australia with the number split equally between the F and C series. The 37ft Corsair comes with an interesting list of specifications for both cruising- and performance-orientated sailors which includes a rotating mast and quality Harken deck gear. Price-wise, the review boat sells for $327,755 which includes an outboard motor. An all-carbon race model (200kg lighter and costing $64,000 more) is also available. The centre-cockpit layout of the Corsair 37 with a poop-deck helm position uses the narrow hull to good effect, and lends itself well to both cruising and tight manoeuvres around the cans. The deep cockpit sole houses open lockers either side and is self-draining. Ideally these lockers should have doors in case of swamping in this very confined area. The cabin bulkhead offers good protection to the crew but an optional dodger would be advisable to help protect the exposed steerer who perches out on the comfy mesh-covered seats. Underfoot at the helm is the main hatch access to the aft cabin. The wooden tiller and extension combine to make this a comfy perch and there are clear views forward which makes this an especially nice race setup, where you can also eyeball both floats. The steering layout is a simple but functional design that has an exposed stainless linkage protruding across the swim platform to attach onto the carbon-fibre dagger rudder. Alongside it, the review boat came with a 9.9hp Yamaha outboard with linkage to the rudder. On the C37, the transom area is larger and improved from the C36 for easier access to the water and there’s a shower nozzle beside the enlarged swim platform. Winches abound on this boat, with two Harken ST40s cabin top for primaries and a brace more on either side of the cockpit coaming; then a further two on the mast for halyards. The transom-mounted mainsheet track has the sheet running forward to one of the cockpit winches and is far enough aft to allow the steerer to control it, as can also be done with the track which has jammers at hand under the mesh seat. MECHANICAL, HULL AND RIG Deck space is a big plus trimarans, and the C37 is no exception. Moving forward across the float nets with support from the tall cabin top is easy enough but a handrail either side would be nice. Again there’s not a lot to grab onto at the foredeck apart from the stainless pulpit but this is a functional area nevertheless. Dominating the pulpit is the retractable carbon bowsprit for flying the screacher. There’s a sufficiently large anchor locker that’s self draining and could house a manual windlass but some sort of bow roller would make cruising anchorages easier. One other gripe is the undersized cleats -- both fore and aft. The pre-preg carbon rig replaces the alloy one on the older C36 and was built in-house at the company’s Ho Chi Minh yard. The slender tapered rotating mast is an impressive looking spar showing a high standard of finish and having climbed to the top of it during my review I can vouch for the quality of its fixings. Held up by synthetic shrouds (for quick easement during folding of the amas) it creates an efficient wing shape for the big-topped mainsail to fly from. The fully-battened North Sails taffeta/carbon mainsail is reefed from the mast foot where a pair of Harken 40s do the muscle work including most of the halyards and the topping lift. The Corsair has a pretty looking hull (number # 6 of 12 built so far) thanks to curves in the right places and flare. The flared topsides blend into a chine towards the gunwales and the keel has some rocker, which aids manoeuvrability while the big amas are designed to give direction stability. The U-shaped hull profile has the advantage of giving good volume and headroom below decks. The two amas are strongly connected to the main hull via four stainless arms and anchored by nine bolts and a backing plate. Further lateral support comes from a stainless cable at each corner. This proved a solid and judder-free setup during our sail test with no feeling of undue movement whatsoever. Corsair builds with a vacuum bag layup process using vinylester and foam filling in all three hull components with Kevlar reinforcing on key parts. The foam filling gives positive buoyancy should the vessel be submerged or inverted and the amas are voluminous so offer plenty storage. Another key safety feature is the obligatory hull escape hatch, located on the starboard side near the galley. The retractable dagger board that runs up through the main hull, along with the similarly-operated rudder allow the C37 to beach easily; or as the new owner of this boat plans to do, haul up on a slipway when not in use. Weighing 3050kg, this should not be a drama. LAYOUT AND ACCOMMODATION Accommodation is good despite the limitations of the narrow hull with double berths forward and aft and a dinette berth in the saloon. The small saloon has the dinette to port with drop-down carbon table to make a bunk. The forward berth has good headroom, cupboard space and a hatch someone can climb out of. The stern cabin is a spacious and private spot (once you’ve fitted a blind to the deck hatch and on its forward bulkhead) which can also be accessed through the companionway steps. The double berth has spotlights and a shelf for storage as well as side hatches and the escape hatch.

A beige carpeted finish throughout most of the below deck bulkheads is functional and the standard of finish on the exposed fibreglass is smooth. A simple galley comprises a two burner gas stove with sink alongside and slide-open cupboard space and there’s a pressurised hot/cold water system which also feeds to the port side shower. The moulded shower is spacious and the manual head finishes off a functional area. Electrical power is limited due to reliance on a small 8amp alternator on the 9.9hp Yamaha four-stroke outboard. Additionally, wind and solar power would be good options to ensure plenty of amps to run the Raymarine A70 plotter, fridge and, of course, the autopilot. The review boat was fitted with two deep cycle batteries that the 8amp alternator on the Yamaha outboard could charge to a maximum of 14.5volts. In terms of options, a 20hp four-stroke motor is listed so perhaps a better choice if longer-term cruising is in mind. A comprehensive electric panel near the companionway steps controls everything and a flip-out plotter will sit nearby, allowing both the cockpit crew and navigator below decks to share the information.

ON THE WATER Flat water and a 15-knot breeze were ideal conditions for us to sail the Corsair. Hoisting the North Sails mainsail was done without too much effort by my host David who worked the Harken B32.2 at the mast while I weather cocked the boat to ensure it cleared the lazy jacks; then with a jab at the cockpit outboard controls to douse the motor and invert it, we were away. I instantly felt at home at the sitting steering position with tiller extension in one hand and mainsheet in the other.

Bearing away, we rolled out the genoa and immediately felt the Corsair smoothly accelerate before we hardened onto the westerly breeze. Looking across the boat as the heeling angle increased -- the windward hull flying clear, yet the leeward not too buried -- gave a feeling of true exhilaration and as a bullet hit this turned to acceleration. Leeway looked minimal, as indicated from our wake angle, so the big daggerboard was doing its job well. As the gusts became heavier I bore away and was rewarded with a pleasant spume blowing off the leeward ama as the balanced rudder hissed approval behind me.

The instruments weren’t set up and calibrated yet on the new boat but for the record the figures I noted on my handheld GPS were eight knots of boatspeed in about 12 knots of wind while beating hard, with the figure jumping to 10 knots as the wind rose to about 14 knots. Off the wind reaching in flat conditions showed the mettle of the C37 with about 15 knots showing on the speedo. Tacking through 90 degrees was again a nimble affair -- in fact I oversteered the first tack -- until I accustomed myself to the agility of the Corsair. The helm had a light feel, maintaining neutrality in the gusts, so I doubt it would be strenuous on the autopilot. Gybing was a similarly easy affair, once the mainsheet was wound in on the helmside Harken, and the Corsair spun around; while at the coachroof David trimmed the jib sheet. The Corsair 37 showed itself to be an able performer and looks to be a well-made and practical family boat. It would be an ideal craft for shoal water cruising, club racing and its folding amas also make it possible for the occasional tow to a new cruising ground. Now, that’s what you call versatility!

, and have narrowed it down to either the Dragonfly 35 or the 37. Without taking into consideration, what do think is better, and why?

inboard. I like them both, and i will visit this summer for a test sail with the dragonfly 35.
Steeringwheel and layout looks very good on dragonfly IMO.

If you can live with a that you can´t fold. Check contour 50
29-03-2010, 14:27  
is no problem. The 37's amas fold down, which would mean you would have to almost the entire ama with antifouling paint.

The Corsair is a faster, lighter boat, but by the time it would get loaded it might not have as big of a performance edge.

I myself would take the Dragonfly 35. How can you not like a tri that you can fit a sea inside of each ama?

would just have me aboard, and I'll be able to travel light. Right now, I'm working on putting everything into place so I can 'unplug' for this trip (so I can do most things via and other tech).

passagemaking - I am wondering why you would select a trimaran with folding amas as oppose to fixed amas?
-Most blue cruisers do not spend much / only a minimal amount of time in where the folding wings come into their own.
- Why go for a complex system which is, though surely well executed, a weak point of the design and difficult to attend to when you are hundred or thousand of miles from land!
It is my belief that a trimaran with fixed amas offers more for your intended use - and they also come cheaper.

Multihull of the year

Corsair was created by a New Zealand architect in California, and has built more than 1,200 folding trimarans between 1984 and 2008, which makes it the leader in this segment, along with the Danish Dragonfly. We have just tested the biggest of these trimarans, the Corsair 36...

The design of the central hull offers both interior volume and good performance under sail! Bravo...

The 36’ has now been replaced by the Corsair 37, a re-styled version of the same boat. Taking into account the small number of examples present in Europe, we leapt at the chance to test one, whilst waiting to present the 37’ carbon (RS) development.

Aluminium rotating mast, carbon bowsprit and nice Pentex sails by Calvert Sails: the Corsair 36 offers simple but high-performance choices!

The split with the founding architect

In 2000, Ian Farrier left the Chula Vista company that he had created and of which he was the vice-president and the emblematic architect. The disagreement with Paul Koch, the new strong man at Corsair (an Australian who built the Farrier Ostac), led the designer to return to his New Zealand offices, from where he re-launched his own range (F82, 32’, 36’ and 39’), intended for individual (up-market) construction, and Australian and Phillipine (Melvest Yard) production.
