Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A 47-foot trimaran delivery along the U.S. East Coast reveals distinct handling and comfort differences compared to monohulls and catamarans.0:02 Underway, the trimaran exhibits a bouncy motion in head seas, with wave impact on the pontoons causing disorientation and noise for those sleeping below.3:03 While the vessel performs well at anchor, the reefing system—designed for single-handed operation via helm-controlled lines—frequently fails due to line friction and tangling at the anti-friction rings, necessitating manual intervention at the mast.25:37 The helm layout and visibility are favorable, though the manual Genoa furler requires significant physical effort.25:06 Performance in 15 knots of wind reached 6.5 knots, though the crew notes that the lack of a spinnaker or reacher likely limited potential speed.19:37 Starlink remains a viable but uncertain connectivity solution for offshore cruisers due to evolving pricing structures and potential service caps.16:15 Ultimately, the trimaran offers superior storage and a unique living layout, but its motion and technical rigging quirks require specific adjustments compared to more conventional cruising platforms.21:00
