Sail1Design is pleased to introduce our readers to the Weta trimaran. Please read and take a close look at this boat, it looks absolutely fantastic!!

The Weta Trimaran is Pure Sailing Enjoyment

Only a WETA can be sailed with one, two or three sails blazing by one, two or three people! No wonder it was Boat of the Year in 2010! Composite foam sandwich hulls with Carbon spars and beams make this little trimaran as robust as it is versatile. A trimarans legendary forgiving nature means that anyone can jump on the Weta and immediately feel confident.

The Weta is a 14′ fibreglass/foam composite trimaran with a boomless main, jib and roller furling gennaker. It can be sailed single handed or with four people. When rigged it has a beam of 11’6″ but when put away on it’s beach trolley the beam is just 5’7″.

It was designed as a boat that one person could easily manage on their own – from rigging to sailing in a blow – yet still enjoy performance sailing. There are minimal control lines and it is quick and easy to rig from scratch by one person.

Fun and Easy to Sail

Sail on your own terms; push the boat hard and approach speeds of 20 knots! Take it easy and you can give a learn to sail the helm, (the trick is getting it back from them!).

The stable and forgiving trimaran platform gives the best of both worlds.

Simple and Easy to own

Lightweight and simple, rig and launch by yourself in 20 minutes.
