The Rapido 40R is Rapido’s new class racing, high performance, trimaran with a mast 2-metres taller than the standard.

While there are monohull race boats in this size range, the Rapido 40R trimaran fills a void in the market. Rapido co-founder Paul Koch says “It really offers multihull racing enthusiasts a high-tech, affordable and exciting alternative”.

To save weight, Rapido’s racing version will be finished with paint instead of gelcoat.

Designed and engineered by Morrelli & Melvin, the Rapido 40R comes equipped with: Prepreg carbon spreader-less performance rig; C foil dagger boards; B&G electronics; North Sails’ 3Di Race Package; New slide up/ down, kick-up T foil rudder blade; and Low-profile coach roof.

The Rapido 40R will appeal to both syndicates and individual owners and, as it meets CE A requirements, will be able to compete in ocean races. The Rapido 40R will be folding so that shipping, marinas and hard stands are less.

Save $30,000 with the Introductory RACE AWAY Package: just US$795,000 ex-factory, ex-tax.

Paul Koch will be at the Cannes Yachting Festival in France from 10 to 15 September 2024 with the Rapido 53XS #01, Picomole. In April, Picomole sailed from Vietnam to Greece via the Red Sea on its maiden voyage. In July, it competed in the Aegean 600.

Meet Paul Koch at the Yachting Festival to answer your questions about the Rapido 40 RACER, Rapido 53XS, Rapido 50, Rapido 40 – or even a Rapido 63XS.
