Astus 16.5 Trimaran

Description.

The Astus 16.5 is the first of the Astus Boat range that was developed in collaboration with VPLP design. The Astus 16.5 has a modern hull shape and sails stable thanks to the 500 L floats. The Astus 16.5 combines the benefits of sporty sailing, easy transportation and simple rigging. The floats can be extended and retracted by telescopic beams and therefore do not need to be disassembled for transport. The club version is sailed without boom for increased safety. Cockpit and trampolines together form a platform of 8m2. Originally, the Astus 16.5 comes with a fixed centerboard, but since 2018 is also available with a pivoting* centerboard. Due to the limited draft, the Astus 16.5 can easily be launched from a slipway or the beach. Sailing gear can be stored in the front storage locker. The sport* version can be equipped with options such as Mylar mainsail and jib with 17 m2 larger sail area, boom, gennaker with furler, carbon bowsprit, traveler and telescopic tiller.

astus trimaran 16.5

Trimaran ASTUS 16,5 is a high-performance sailing boat, very easy to use, safe and stable.

The central hull has a large cockpit that comfortably accommodates 3 – 4 people. The floats on telescopic tubes give excellent stability, and thanks to the trampolines, the deck area measures 8 m2. A standard feature on Astus Boats is retracting floats, reducing the beam to 2.5 m. This feature allows the boat to be transported on a small trailer behind a passenger car or moored in a berth designated monohulls. In addition, the construction is designed to be easily managed by one person to set up and sail the boat.

ASTUS 16.5 is available in recreational and sports versions.

ASTUS 16.5 can quickly launch off a beach or slip, thanks to the optional beach trolley.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

astus trimaran 16.5

Astus 16.5 – 20.5 – 22.5

Boatbuiling company Astusboats developed this range of folding trailer trimarans featuring telescopic beams. Several versions are available (leisure, raid, sport and sport+) to satisfy the needs of a wide range of customers, from families enjoying day trips on the water exploring, to solo sportsmen and women looking for the thrill of competitive sailing. Some models also have bunks.

16.5 (2015) The Astus 16.5 was designed as an inshore sailing boat for day trips and raiding. She comes in two versions: a sports model with a powerful sail plan for private customers, and a more forgiving rig for sailing schools.

astus trimaran 16.5

She has been given a more modern look compared to previous models, while retaining the folding feature which makes Astus boats so easy to pack up and put on a trailer. This mini-multihull features a planing central hull and floats inspired by VPLP’s latest maxi-trimarans, making her a responsive and lively sailer which is fun and thrilling to steer.

20.5 (2018) A fast and featherweight dayboat, the Astus 20.5 can lodge up to 4 people below decks and her floats can be folded in like a concertina to facilitate handling and trailering. Stable thanks to her 930-litre floats, she features a flared, planing hull which enables her to skim across the water and offer the crew an exciting ride without getting drenched with spray.

Her modern, racy lines make her a fast and safe way to enjoy sailing. The Astus 20.5 comes in two versions: a leisure model aimed at families, and a sports design featuring a resin-infused central hull for competitive sailors.

22.5 (2021) Launched in July 2021, the Astus 22.5 is the first of the range to feature foils as an optional extra. Fast and flashy with tapering floats, she features four bunks and a small galley to make her the ideal trimaran for sailing with friends and family, spending the day on the water or exploring the coast.
