I recently spoke to a distributor for the Magnum trimarans, which are made by VirusBoats in France. These small trimarans serve as "day boats" for hundreds of sailors who either like to sail by themselves or want to host a small crew.
I was impressed by many of the things he shared about these sailboats during our conversation, but one thing in particular surprised me. Apparently, there is a bit of a misconception among some prospective buyers about these boats. The purpose of this article is to address it.
It seems that because Magnum trimarans are multi-hulled craft, many sailors simply assume they handle much like double-hulled catamarans. But this couldn't be further from the truth. It's an assumption that should be quickly set aside.
You see, catamarans have a generally well-deserved reputation for being difficult to tack. Their 2 long slender double-hulls, combined with the fact they often glide along the water's surface on just one of them, make it hard for those boats to turn easily.
Magnum trimarans, however, are completely different.
When they came on the scene just a few years ago, they offered sailors a small trimaran sailboat that handles much more like any typical small boat when it comes to turning. In other words, they're easy to turn.
The stern of their vaka (main) hull is basically flat. This design, combined with use of a centerboard, allows Magnums to swivel around very easily ... almost as if they were single-hulled dinghies.
Sailors who return to shore after taking them out on the water for the first time often express amazement at how easy the Magnums are to turn and maneuver. Apparently their design shape, which makes such handling possible, was somewhat unique when the boats first came out. A few other trimarans have now copied this feature in recent years.
The relatively flat bottom of the back portion of the boat's main hull and centerboard allow for this extremely fast boat to also be a nimble one. And considering the fact they're stable on the water, such ease of handling is often a pleasant surprise for users.
More about the Magnum will be included in a forthcoming book by the author. The new book will be exclusively about small trimarans. And readers may fill out any short survey posted in exchange for a free trimaran-related information product in development.
