Rapido Trimarans
Have you ever had a consuming passion for anything?
Co founder of Rapido Triamarans, Paul Koch, certainly does.
While trimarans may be a niche market, it is a market that he has essentially devoted his whole working life to developing.
Paul owned and operated OSTAC (Ocean Sailing Trimarans and Catamarans) Yachts from 1986 to 2008 and then the trimaran company, Corsair Marine from 1994 to 2010. Pioneer Paul, renowned for his passion and vision, has been credited with driving many innovations in the multihull industry – especially in building production trimarans.
But Paul had always been convinced that there was a missing segment in the sailing market: an ocean-cruising trimaran that was owner-operated, powerful enough to accelerate out of any potential trouble – and could be safely crewed by two. Enter the concept for the world’s fastest production cruising trimaran, the Rapido 60. Armed with the concept, Paul approached his friend, Pete Melvin, from world-acclaimed naval architects, Morrelli & Melvin Design and Engineering. Their brief was to develop the design and engineering for the Rapido 60.
