PT-11 Sport Tri<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\n

The design writ of the PT-11, the inaugural offering from the Rhode Island-based builder Performance Multihulls, is \u201ca high-performance, 11-meter trimaran designed and built as a sport cruiser for a very discerning client.\u201d Boat of the Year judge Ed Sherman concurs, saying, \u201cThis is a very special boat that\u2019s built for a very special kind of sailor, one with deep pockets who\u2019s kind of flying at the outer, leading edge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

In other words, it\u2019s a boat that looks fast standing still. And under sail? Look out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Fashioned from carbon fiber, S-glass, and Nomex honeycomb, the PT-11\u2019s laminate is strong yet light: In cutting-edge yacht design, weight is the enemy of speed. With a rotating carbon mast by Hall Spars and a Mastervolt electrical system utilizing a single lithium-ion battery bank, the high-tech theme is carried throughout. Yet the boat also has a basic but comfortable cruising layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

But as Sherman pointed out after tearing across Chesapeake Bay on a powerful reach, it fulfills the need for speed. \u201cIt\u2019s sensitive to what you do,\u201d he said. \u201cSail trim. Helm angle. Weight placement. They\u2019ll all make a difference in what you get out of the boat. But boy, once you start to get the hang of it, you\u2019re going to love it. It\u2019s a great ride.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
