About the MULTI 23

Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Multi 23 is a lightweight, trailerable catamaran designed by Van Peteghem Lauriot Prévost and built by Torpen Marine (CHINA) starting in 2009. With a displacement of 660.0 lb and a LOA of 21.33 ft, it is engineered for easy transport and coastal cruising rather than heavy offshore endurance.

Best for:
This boat is ideal for coastal cruisers, trailerable boat owners, and single-handers seeking a low-maintenance, easily transportable package with modern fractional sloop rigging.
Bluewater capability:
With a low displacement of 660.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 7.13, the Multi 23 is primarily suited for protected coastal waters and short offshore passages rather than extended bluewater voyaging.
Comparables:
Comparable to other trailerable catamarans like the Lagoon 210 or Beneteau First 23.7, the Multi 23 distinguishes itself with its specific Van Peteghem Lauriot Prévost hull form and rotating spar rig, offering similar ease of handling but with a distinct lightweight construction profile.
