Czech naval architect Tomas Jonas Janda is no stranger to us: he was trained in part by the brilliant builder/designer Denis Kergomard, and we have him to thank for the IC36 (see our test in MW182), a catamaran that is as original as it is high-performance...
With the Trasa 33 (read Trailer Sailer), we’re talking about a catamaran that can be dismantled to remain transportable on the road in complete independence - the floats, connected and fixed by bolts with carbon arms, are handled with simple dollies. Mast stepping and launching operations are carried out without a crane. The architect allows for an assembly time of three hours with three people. The size of the Trasa also means it can fit into a 40-foot shipping container.
The program for this rocketship, which could exceed 25 knots, is very broad: racing or coastal cruising thanks to the draft reduced to 14inches (35 cm) with the appendages raised, everything seems possible, especially since the Trasa manages to incorporate two separate cabins (one in each hull) and plenty of storage space.
