Astus 20.5 Sport – Fully Stacked Demonstrator + Trailer

New on the market, our 2023 Astus 20.5 Sport demonstrator, packed with options is ready to sail away.

This VPLP designed trimaran can produce blistering speeds on a wide, stable platform. Yet, the floats can be retracted in minutes to a trailer-friendly 2.5m width, making it ideal for taking to your favourite sailing destinations. Requiring no ballast, the lift-keel multihull weigh only half a tonne, half the typical weight of a monohull counterpart. Not only does this create speed on the water but it also enables towing behind a small family car!

A powerful sail plan supported by sturdy rigging and coupled to hugely buoyant floats means that the Astus 20.5 can be reefed relatively late – more speed and more range. Yet, even nervous crew members will enjoy the dry, near-horizontal ride offered by this wide trimaran. The cockpit is designed to make single handed sailing simple, even when flying the gennaker.

Despite its diminutive stature the Astus 20.5 offers space down below for a crew of two.  A long v-berth accommodates even the tallest adults and there is space below for a portable toilet. And if you want to bring the kids, then do as the French do – pitch a tent on the trampolines!

The Astus 20.5 Sport demonstrator boat which we have on site right now has a massive list of options included:

• A lighter, faster resin infused hull – this boat weighs only 490kg including the rig!
• Unbraked ‘break-back’ road trailer with mast transport post and light board
• A larger cross-cut Sports rig with fully battened square top main and furling jib
• Single line closed loop jib furler
• Lazyjack ‘stack pack’ style maindrop system
• A furling gennaker/code 0 with closed loop single line furler, extendable bowsprit and cockpit winches
• Ronstan main sail track and carriage with 6:1 block sheet tackle
• Longer carbon tiller with Ronstan Battlestick telescopic tiller extension
• Mast stepping kit
• Anchor with chain and warp
• Outboard engine bracket
• Stainless steel pulpit
• Stainless steel transom mounted mast support post
• Coach roof ventilation hatch.
• Cabin windows
• Cabin cushions – custom made for a wider v-berth and seating with back supports
• 12v electrics installation with junction box, switch panel, cut off switch, cabin lighting and 12v Lithium battery
• Raymarine wind/depth/log system
• Raymarine chart plotter
• Lines, fenders and more.

So, everything and more to go cruising or racing.
