NZ $375,000
Formula 40 Trimaran, carbon re-build, race ready. Exceptional performance.
Fat Freddy is a Formula 40 Trimaran, 12 x 11 metres, fully carbon reinforced, extended carbon Halls mast from a 50’ and now ready to race with a brand new North Sails 3Di mainsail being made.
The thrill of the acceleration and her outright performance is visceral and will leave you astounded by her effortless pace that well exceeds wind speed in even the lightest airs.
In her new incarnation Fat Freddy recently underwent a full refit and upgrade with extra reinforcing carbon layers, new paint, new sails, electronics and a 25 HP outboard that easily powers her at 10+ knots.
As a familiar contender in the multihull racing scene Fat Freddy sits at the top of the table competing against much larger multihulls.
As a 40 footer she carries the same size rig as a TP52 and as a result her 40 foot waterline length belies an abundance of power and speed on all angles.
If you seek an adrenalin purge while approaching 30 knots this high performance racing trimaran will exceed your dreams and forever change the way you describe a day out on the water with Fat Freddy.
