About the CONDOR 40 TRI
The Condor 40 Tri is a rare, high-performance trimaran designed by Mick Price and built by Phil Herting/Condor Ltd. with only 22 hulls constructed in 1985. Its lightweight displacement of 6800.0 lb and wide 28.17 ft beam define its distinct character as a fast, planing multihull.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced multihull sailors seeking high-speed coastal cruising and racing, particularly those comfortable with the handling dynamics of a narrow-beam monohull-like trimaran.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 5.95 and a displacement of 6800.0 lb, the Condor 40 Tri is capable of offshore passages but requires careful weight management and experienced handling due to its light displacement and wide beam.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other 1980s performance trimarans like the Nacra 40 or early Hobie Cat models, it shares the role of a fast, lightweight offshore racer-cruiser, though its fractional sloop rig and specific hull form offer a unique sailing experience.
