Astus 16.1

Its design has been optimised for simplicity of use: the traditional centreboard on the main hull has been replaced by foils built in each float (see picture).

The Astus 16.1 is built in glass reinforced polyester (GRP) covered with white gelcoat.

The floats are mounted on telescopic tubes and can be extended or folded on shore or on the water, making it possible to use narrow split ways or monohull marina berths.

The cabin of the Astus 16.1 is too small to accommodate a berth but provides useful storage for personal belongings and sailing gear.

Folding trimarans are particularly well suited as trailer sailers because their narrow width with folded floats makes them towable on the road whilst their wide beam with floats extended makes them stable and safe on the water.
