We'll have to be patient to discover the future Astus. The Astus 26.5 will be available for the 2025 season. The prototype will be presented in the summer of 2024, with sales starting in September 2024. This trimaran remains in the shipyard's DNA. It's a folding trimaran, lightweight and therefore easy to transport. And yet, the performance should be top-notch. Indeed, its lightness and the design by VPLP augur well for its user.
The flagship
The Astus 26.5, with a hull length of 7.90 m, will be the largest yacht built by the shipyard. Previously, the Astus 24, launched in 2013 and now out of production, held this flagship position. The Astus 26.5 will enable cruising with 4 berths, and even the possibility of standing at the cabin entrance. The forward cabin can be separated with its own toilet area. In the saloon, there's a galley and an icebox. Everything you need for short cruises. The cockpit is fitted with coamings for added protection when sailing.
Available in 3 versions
The Astus 26.5 will be available at ?90,000 with mainsail and jib. A wide range of options will also be available, allowing you to customize your trimaran to suit your sailing schedule. These will be offered in the form of packs:
- A leisure version for quiet family cruising.
- A cruise version, to see further afield.
- A sporty version to satisfy racers.
