 Following to the launching of Astus 20.1 in 2005 and of its 75 models production, its successor has now arrived. Astus 20.2 was born from the desire of bringing improvement and of meeting your requirements.

The sailing programme is the same as the 20.1 one: the 20.2 is a transportable trimaran easy to move from one place to an other one, can be used by one person or by a small team for a one or several days raids and is also a family multicoque for a one day outings (Day Boats).

This new model has more modern shapes and more sport lines, and use again the concepts of Astus 20.1 which have been thoroughly tried and tested and to which some improvements were brought:

A trimaran with many advantages - Speed: an outstanding weight/sail ratio: 24 m² upwind for 350 kg Few water entries with the water deflectors stepped hull. - Stability: each float makes 650 litres that’s to say 150 litres more than the 20.1, Width was also increased to reach 4.25 m. - Safety: the central hull and the floats show a high floatability potential - Weak draught: daggerboard and pivoting rudder, ideal for coast navigation and coming alongside the beach - Quick to fold and without any dismantlement ashore or when sailing (to put in a catway)

A simple and pragmatic use: easy to transport and to handle - A 350 kg weight - Telescopic floats which thanks to the cotter pins allow to pass from a 4.25 m width to a 2.40 m width and vice versa without being obliged to dismantle the floats - A mast easy to step up, 15 kg light, with a 7.50 m height - On the 20.2, a lateral mast position will allow an easy stepping of the mast - A single person is able to rig it and to launch it to water in less than 20 mn. - The advantage is obvious: possibility of changing place and of sailing alone...

A comfortable boat - The vast 2.5 m cockpit is protected by backs with lockers for the storage - The position of the front beams allows to easy enter the cabin. - Bigger trampolines of 2.75 m length, belong to the navigation space, which represents a total surface including the cockpit of 11.5 m² - The cabin with the bunk of 115 cm width and 220 cm length and more ergonomic allows the storage of all the materials and can be a safe shelter for the children. - A front locker used as chain locker and where it is possible to store the fenders.

A rational construction - The boatyard has chosen a polyester construction which allows a better cost production, and which is resistant and easy to maintain.

2 versions: - A family version to quietly sail at a very competitive price - A sport version to meet the requirement of the Astus 20.2 S regatta team. Published: 2010 Photo: Astus

• Astus 20.2 Sport + Road Trailer

• Length: 5.95
• Draft: 0.3m
• Displacement: 375kg
• Location: SOUTHAMPTON
• Availability: Brokerage Boat

Just sold subject to contract!  A great example of the super popular Astus 20.2 Sport. With the owner curcumnavigating the British Isles on a bigger yacht, this pocket rocket ‘White Mice’ is now sold. The trimaran comes with its own break-back road trailer, a 5HP 4-stroke outboard, fully battened laminate mainsail and furling laminate jib, furling gennaker on a retractable bowsprit and a chart-plotter.

The Astus 20.2 sport has been one of Astus’ most popular boats with over 100 built until it was replaced by the 20.5 in 2018. The 20.2 was prized due to its blistering performance whilst still offering accomodation for two in the cosy cabin and full trailerability.  Weighing in at under 400kg this trailer sailer can be towed behind a small family car and easily moved around by hand on your driveway. The 20.2 Sport can be easily rigged, launched, sailed singlehanded but can also cater for a crew of up to 7 on lakes and rivers (Cat D) or 5 for coastal sailing (Cat C). Despite being a high performance boat the 20.2 Trimaran sails with very little heel – so even anxious crew members feel safe and secure whilst thrill seekers can get their speed kick! If you’re unfamiliar with the Astus 20.2 Sport, here is a promo video of the boat in action.

White Mice is a 2010 built example of the 20.2 Sport and has clearly been carefully looked after. The hulls show very little evidence of knocks or scrapes. Much of the boat’s life seems to have been spent on in-land lakes – the trailer looks like it has been rarely sea water immersed. During the last 9 months the owner has made a range of improvements. So White Mice comes prepared for sale with:

• Brand new running rigging, including dyneema back-stays
• Trampolines professionally overhauled, including new webbing edges
• An engine service
• A full trailer service including new wheels and tyres
• Float decals replaced
• Cabin cushion covers washed.

The boat now sold. But here is a video of White Mice in action during a holiday in the Greek Islands last Autumn to give you an idea what makes these boats so special!

Astus 20.5: Fast, fun and affordable trailable trimaran

• David Harding
• August 20, 2021

For fast yet undemanding sailing, easy trailing and simple camper-cruising, the Astus 20.5 trimaran is likely to find wide appeal says David Harding

The Astus 20.5 is taut and responsive to sail. Credit: David Harding

Product Overview

• Fast and easy to sail
• Can be trailed behind a small car
• Easy to reduce beam for marina berthing
• Less accommodation than a monohull of similar size
• Rigging process could be simplified
• Slightly stark interior finish

Manufacturer:

Price as reviewed:.

Boats that are small and light enough to keep in your driveway and trail to where you want to sail make a lot of sense.

One drawback, however, is that they tend to be slower than bigger boats – especially if they’re of a size and weight that allows them to be easily managed short-hand, both afloat and ashore.

If you want to sail from Poole to Weymouth for the weekend in a 20ft trailer-sailer, for example, it might take a while.

This is where speedy trailable trimarans like the Astus 20.5 come in.

When I sailed its predecessor, the 20.2, about 10 years ago, we regularly hit 15 knots on a reach without breaking sweat and maintained an easy 6.5 knots upwind.

This 20 footer can match 50 footers for speed. Credit: David Harding

You can cover a lot of ground at those sorts of speeds.

I first met the Astus 20.5 at the Düsseldorf Boat Show in 2019. Since it’s a newer boat and designed by no less a design team than VPLP, I had high hopes that it would offer even more than the 20.2.

Quite apart from the sailing potential, the trailing is as simple as can be with a boat like this.

If you choose the resin-infused hull, the Astus 20.5 weighs under 500kg (1,100lb), or just over 500kg with the standard solid laminate.

The lighter weight means you can use an unbraked trailer , saving money, maintenance and yet more weight, so you can trail it behind a normal hatchback vehicle.

Getting somewhere fast under sail is one thing. Having somewhere to sleep when you arrive is another.

The Astus 20.5 is simple to sail for two people. Credit: David Harding

Though its cabin is smaller than on a monohull of similar size, the Astus provides seating, stowage and space for a companionable couple to be able to stretch out.

Then of course you have the trampolines each side on which you can rig a tent for more sleeping space.

The opportunity for a sail on the Astus 20.5 finally came when Hein Kuiper of Boats On Wheels brought his first demonstrator to the UK.

In fact we went out twice – first for a photo session in Poole on a brisk winter’s day and then a few months later in Chichester Harbour.

Since the boat arrived in Poole on its trailer, I was able to see how it went together.

Pulling out the hulls is pretty straightforward: their aluminium beams slide in and out of the fixed beams on the main hull. You can do that ashore or afloat.

There’s nothing complicated about raising the rig, either, and it can all be done singlehanded .

The whole process, from arriving with the trailer to sliding the boat into the water, took Hein a couple of hours or so the first time or two (comparable with a monohull of similar size, he reckons) but would undoubtedly get quicker with practice.

Dragonfly 28 Sport

Whether you choose the standard or the Sport version, the mast is the same height.

The difference is that the latter comes with a square-top mainsail to give appreciably more sail area.

If you want to save as much weight as possible and make raising and lowering the mast easier, you can have it in carbon. A wing mast is another option.

The rig and hardware don’t appear to be modified in any way as a concession to the boat’s trailer-sailer nature.

Here and there, the odd ready-made loop or strop would save fiddling around with bits of line.

It is basic down below but there’s seating and sleeping space for two people. Credit: David Harding

All that is forgotten as soon as you’re under way.

On our second outing, once the electric outboard had pushed us out of Northney Marina – where the boat proved to be surprisingly manoeuvrable with the centreplate fully down – we headed off on a beam reach at 12.5 knots in 12-15 knots of wind.

In most boats, 12.5 knots would be going some. In this 20-footer, it felt perfectly relaxed.

Over the course of the following couple of hours we covered every point of sail including, of course, reaching under spinnaker.

With the gusts rarely exceeding 16 knots in the flat water of the harbour, we didn’t quite manage to break 15 knots.

It wasn’t a bad speed-to-effort ratio nonetheless.

The boat felt rock solid the whole time, and I knew from the photo session in Poole that she could carry the kite on a beam reach in appreciably more wind than we had in Chichester.

It is easy to reduce the beam of the Astus 20.5 for marina berthing. Credit: David Harding

It’s hard to imagine that 20 knots wouldn’t be perfectly achievable.

Upwind we maintained between 7 and 8.5 knots most of the time.

As you would expect, you need to keep the bow down a little to maintain full power.

You also need the purchase of the 6:1 mainsheet to maintain sufficient tension in the upper leech. It makes a big difference.

You won’t need more than two people to go out and have fun on the Astus 20.5. Credit: David Harding

Tacking was pretty positive provided we had adequate boatspeed going into the tack, and leeway appeared minimal.

All told the Astus 20.5 was great fun to sail and easy to manage two-handed.

There was little for a third person to do except enjoy the ride or contribute to the righting moment by joining the helmsman on the windward trampoline.

If you were racing, you could use a longer tiller extension and fit toe-straps to maximise the advantage.

Beating our way back up the harbour, we demonstrated the windward ability of the Astus 20.5 by sailing straight past a 15m (49ft) monohull.

Creature comforts aboard the Astus 20.5

David Harding has been testing boats for decades and is also a sailing photographer

Above decks the Astus offers a vast amount of sitting and lounging space thanks to the trampolines.

Down below, the hull’s narrow beam makes things cosy but you still find a seat either side, space for a chemical toilet under the aft end of the berth and a fair amount of stowage beneath and to either side of the companionway.

The centreboard is offset to port to leave the middle of the boat clear.

The finish is simple and uncomplicated, largely to save weight. There would be plenty of scope to fit a slide-out galley and devise lightweight stowage solutions to make better use of the space.

Astus 20.5: the test verdict 

More than anything else, this boat is tremendous fun.

She feels taut and responsive to sail. I found that it took an hour or so to begin to find her sweet spots, but after that she just makes you want to sail her.

She inspires confidence and is easy to handle, too. In most conditions you could manage perfectly well single-handed and for cruising you won’t need more than two.

The Astus 20.5 has less accommodation than a monohull of similar size

Then there’s the speed. No matter whether or not you’re in a hurry to get anywhere, it’s easier to slow down in a fast boat than to speed up in a slow one.

Speed is fun in itself, and it’s hard not to enjoy sailing straight past a monohull more than twice your length.

Niggles are relatively few.

I thought the rudder blade could do with a touch more balance and I wasn’t sure that the fixed end of the 2:1 jib sheet was quite far enough aft on deck.

Other than that, it all works.

Hardware is mostly from Harken and the spars are by Sélden, so there’s no skimping in these departments.

Would she suit you and your crew?

The Astus 20.5 will attract attention. Several people stopped for a chat and to admire her back in Northney having seen her on the water.

If you’re a dinghy sailor moving up but not ready to slow down, this is a good choice.

Just as much interest is coming from big-boat sailors moving down or wanting a second, smaller boat that still has a good cruising range. Few boats of this size go so fast with so little effort.

The Astus 20.5 is ideal for exploring harbours, estuaries and rivers

As for the inevitable monohull-versus-multihull debate, there are trailable, family-friendly boats of this size with one hull that sail very nicely.

I have clocked over 12 knots in one or two, but only under spinnaker, with good sailors on board and not for sustained periods.

As long as you’re prepared to accept that sailing regularly at double-figure speeds means sacrificing some interior volume, the Astus could suit you perfectly. And for exploring harbours and estuaries, camper-cruising and nudging into the beach, it’s absolutely ideal.

Astus 20.2 trimaran pictures and update from a new owner.

Sailing every day this week in Tarpon springs. I'll send you some now pics taken with my good camera.  Iove the versatility of the boat. I launch it and handle it like a beach cat when I need to with a light feel and fast acceleration and sail it like a much larger sailboat when needed. Had some 6 people on it at the same time. Have it parked tonight At a marina between two 40 footers.... But it's the only boat people stop and look at!

Similarly it draws as much as a kayak so we got in some secluded shallow spots for resting and lunch. So nice. Very versatile like I said.

We got out in a solid 20 gusting to 25 and it handled well. I had very inexperienced crew and two kids so we played it safe. I was with the main alone and it handled very well. De powered quite a bit. Went up, down wind no issues. We were starting to be nicely moving. Can't wait to shed all the cruising weight and and put it through its real paces.   Not nearly As fast as a beachcat though I think Note: for going around long distances the 4 stroke 6 hp is very good. That is a good match for the boat. We finished the day against current and 20 knots going dead upwind in a narrow Chanel and it handled it perfectly.

Astus Boats Are Now Available in the USA!

Jun 27, 2022

It comes with great pleasure that Red Beard Sailing is now the official US dealer for the brand new line of Astus Boats !

Design & History

In 2004 Jean Hubert-Pommois created Astus Boats. When they got started Astus was only making 7 of their first design the 20.1 in their first year. Now, 17 years later, there are over 400 Astus boats sailing all over the world!

Starting in 2015 Astus sought out a refresh in the model range. As a result, Astus hired world renowned naval architect firm, VPLP, to completely rethink and redesign the Astus range from the keel up!

VPLP is a premier naval architecture and yacht design firm based in France. The firm is well known for their pioneering sailboat designs that have broken numerous speed records. Successful racing sailboats from VPLP include Hugo Boss, Groupama 3, and America's Cup winner Oracle. Continuous innovations in hull forms and foil shapes have kept VPLP Design at the top of the leaderboard in the most challenging regattas in the world.

Performance

The new age of Astus Boats has ushered in a new definition of speed for these small portable trimarans. These boats offer exceptional handling and performance in a small and manageable package. These boats offer a few key design points that really make these  small trimarans exceptional:

Narrow Hulls: Skinny hulls slice through the water and waves with ease and provide better light wind performance as well as more comfort in poor and choppy conditions. Typically, narrower hulls means you have less buoyancy, but when used in conjunction with the inverted bows, these boats actually boast more buoyancy than your average production trimaran.

Inverted Bows: Hull speed is a mathematical calculation (speed in kn = 1.35 x square root of waterline length). Inverted bows maximize waterline length by making sure the longest part of the boat is the below waterline (BWL) length. This means the Astus boats will be faster in light winds and will get on plane in lower wind speeds than other boats with traditional overhanging bows. In conjunction with the narrow hulls, the Astus trimarans are very comfortable in a chop because they do not hobby horse as much as more common tri's.

Infusion Construction: The infusion method for constructing the Astus trimarans ensure that the hulls are as lightweight as possible. Less weight means that these boats are faster and can carry more weight, safely, than other similar sized trimarans.

Astus is famous for their telescopic carbon beams that allow their boats to be road trailerable. This style of beam offers a number of benefits over competitive folding and swinging style folding systems.

Less Weight: It doesn't take a big imagination to see this obvious advantage. Other folding / portable trimarans have overbuilt fiberglass beams in order to equal the rigidity of a simple carbon tube.

Fewer Moving Parts:   The Astus Telescopic Beams are a simple locking pin and slide, no special tools, parts or hardware are required to maintain or operate.  Complicated folding systems have many bushings and specific geometry that must be maintained. In addition to all of those extra parts comes lots of hardware that must be checked regularly. 

Easier Transport/Storage: Because the telescopic beams slide in a linear way, the bottom of all three hulls remain the bottoms. Unlike the Farrier designed boats, the Astus boats can easily be moored or docked in a monohull slip. This often means finding a slip is easy (shallow water monohull slips are hard to rent for marinas)! In addition to being easier to store in the water, getting a boat back on a trailer touches the bottom of the boat instead of beautiful painted sides gives you a little more wiggle room and less anxiety when launching and retrieving your boat. The beams also allow the boat to require much less height on a trailer which may make all the difference between indoor and outdoor trailer storage in the winter.

Less Intrusive: The Astus beams do not require beam boxes or mounting hardware that intrude on the interior cabin. This is a massive perk on trimarans under 30 feet where space comes at a premium. If you plan to do some weekend cruising with the family, you will very much appreciate the extra storage and sleeping space!

Manufacturing Process

Astus Boats is located in the Morbihan region in northwestern France , just near The Trinité-sur-Mer and the Gulf of Morbihan. It is no wonder they make such amazing sailboats!

Astus boats does everything they can to keep manufacturing and sourcing local, in France. They design and build the molds locally and even source sailmaking and other boat's components from other French manufacturers. In case you aren't aware, France is the sailing-est place on the planet. Keeping the whole boat French means that every Astus is imbued with the spirit and love that the French have for the sport of sailing!

Affordability

Astus has long prided itself in offering quality, performance sailboats at a price that will allow would-be adventure seekers all over the world, from all walks of life, to enjoy the passion and performance that you get with an Astus trimaran.

Without further ado, below are specs and base prices for each Astus model:

An ultra-portable personal Tacking Proa or Trimaran . You can choose to sail with two hulls or three with this exciting and affordable trimaran! Easy to car-top, this boat can go from car to water in just 5-10 minutes! 

Shop the Astus 14.5

A high octane beach trimaran that is easily portable but offers plenty of space and capacity to take the family out for a relaxing (or sometimes sporty ) daysail! This is a great boat for the family to enjoy and for Dad (or Mom) to race in local regattas.

Shop the Astus 16.5

The ultimate nomadic weekender. The 20.5 is a bit bigger still than the 16.5 and has a cabin! The addition of the cabin in the 6.0m category means that you get way more boat for your buck than other production trimarans on the market. You also benefit from the other features listed above that makes this the perfect family starter boat as well as being a great day / weekend charter boat!

Shop the Astus 20.5

The largest boat in the current Astus lineup . This boat features a much larger cabin than the 20.5 and a bit more speed. Down the line, this boat will be offered with optional foils in the floats to allow for higher speeds in rougher conditions. This wouldn't make this boat a completely foiling boat, just foil assist in the leeward hull. Red Beard Sailing currently has one of these boats in production for our demo fleet. It is slated to arrive in Baltimore in May 2023, so keep an eye out for our un-crating and first sail videos!
