Motive Trimarans
Introduces the Motive 25R, the Next Generation of Trimarans
New
York, NY – April 26, 2012 – Motive Trimarans is excited to introduce the first
carbon fiber, production trimaran in its class.
Available late summer 2012, the Motive 25R will make its US debut at the
Newport International Boat show in September 2012 and debut in Europe at the
Salon Nautique de Paris in December 2012.
Sleek,
modern and performance oriented, the Motive 25R is designed for spirited day sailing
and in-shore racing. The Motive 25R offers race performance in a stable, easy
to sail package. Innovative features
include a fully battened, boomless square top mainsail; the Motive QuickstowTM
system that allows the mainsail to be quickly raised, lowered and stored
in the center hull cockpit; a unique and simple folding system for trailering;
and the ability to be motored in compact mode.
“I
was looking for a midsized trimaran that I could get my family out on for some
adventure sailing, and I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted on the market,”
said Motive Trimarans CEO and Design Director, Pete Ansel. “The initial response to the Motive 25R design
and concept has been tremendous here in the US and in Europe, where the boat is
already being called the ‘mini-MOD 70’.”
Naval Architect Jeremy
Wurmfeld of Persak & Wurmfeld added, “We teamed up with Motive Trimarans to
design a stable, fast, fun, family friendly, but also race oriented boat. Our
goals were to deliver performance and maximize time on the water by making both
the sail handling and trailering as simple as possible.”
Tooling is complete and the
first four boats are under construction in Salem, Massachusetts.
Motive Trimarans is
establishing a global dealer network. Pricing for the Motive 25R will be
approximately $85,000/€85,000 inclusive of VAT. More information and
specifications available at www.motivetrimarans.com.
