Astus Trimarans
Fast, fun and safe, the Astus trimarans have been designed to offer maximum pleasure with minimum hassle. They are light and very easy to move around, launch and recover. But it is on the water that the personality of these lovely trimarans really shows: their high sail area over weight ratio will give you endless exhilarating sailing, with their multihull design and high-buoyancy floats and hull keeping them safe and easy to handle.
For those who have been thinking about getting a skiff but couldn't face the challenge, the Astus 14.1 skiff comes as a relief: forgiving and exciting, it offers the thrill of a skiff without the hassle. All this from the first day: no learning curve, just instant fun!
The Astus 18.2 is the ideal dayboat for endless planing reaches followed by a picnic on the beach. It offers incredibly rewarding sailing and couldn't be easier to handle, even singlehanded. If you need more space, the Astus 20.2 provides room for 6 adults in the cockpit and a cabin with double berth and plenty of storage space. For longer cruising the Astus 22 offers a vast cabin with 4 berths and acres of cockpit and sunbathing space!
The Astus 18.2, Astus 20.2 and Astus 22 have their floats mounted on telescopic tubes for easy stowage and towing. No tools needed: just push the floats in and drive away. The floats can also be extended and retracted on the water, giving you access to narrow slipways and monohull berths in marinas. They are friendly boats that you will want to take to your favourite sailing spots all year long.

Whether you sail on one, two or three hulls, getting accurate navigation information adds more fun to your sailing and is invaluable for your race training.
The Nauteek SC100 and SC200 use an integrated ultra sharp GPS to provide speed, heading and much more information on a large display that can be read easily yards away. As the Nauteek runs on its own integrated power and GPS, there's no drilling and no wires: just attach with the supplied velcro strips and enjoy!
