Motive 25R debut in Newport

This Tri can Fly.

Persak & Wurmfeld and Motive Trimarans were excited to debut the brand new Motive 25R trimaran daysailer at the Newport International Boatshow last week. 

The first all carbon fiber production trimaran in its class, the Motive 25R captured the attention of the judges for Newport for New Products, winning BEST NEW SAILBOAT. The judges commented: “Everything was well thought out with super clever design elements,” and “If I could use her for a day - I might never come back!”

The Motive 25R will also be showcased at the Annapolis Sailboat Show in October and the Salon Nautique International De Paris in December. Visit www.motivetrimarans.com for more information and sales inquiries.

Introducing the Motive 25R

For Immediate Release

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 Quickstow^TM 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.
