Built by the Strato Compo shipyard, the Radikal 26 is a modern design trimaran, foldable, light and fast, with a length of 9 meters. This day boat will be marketed by the Radikal Boat brand, a newcomer to the market. " This brand was created for the implementation of certain products. For the moment, we are marketing the Radikal 26" trimaran explains Patrice Vivient, manager of Radikal Boat. Seeking to create a boat that combines pleasure, speed and safety, Radikal Boat approached the architectural firm Perspective Design.
The first boat built by the shipyard was delivered late last summer in Germany. " Built under epoxy carbon infusion, this first trimaran has exceeded all our expectations" explains Christophe Lair, from the Strato Compo yard.
For this second model, which will be launched soon, and presented next April at the multihull show, the owner has chosen " a wiser version". It will therefore be built in polyester, but the link arms, mast and boom will remain in infused carbon, for maximum rigidity, without weighing the boat down.
The folded Radikal 26 is in road format. " We can put it on a trailer and hit the road with it." Without a centerboard, it has curved daggerboards on the floats. " They act like foils, but very slightly. They were designed as much for design as to preserve space in the center hull."
Designed to support 6 people, the central hull can accommodate up to 4 people. Sold empty, it is possible to modify it, in option. Here are, among others, the possible equipments: side seat cushions and mattresses in front point, sink block, portable toilets, motor chairâeuros¦
The Radikal 26 is sold ready to sail, with a set of 3 sails but can be delivered in different stages of manufacture.
