WindRider Rave

Conventional wisdom says that the path to speed is in planing hulls and 110 foot catamarans. We think it lies somewhere above the water's surface. The WindRider Rave is a hydrofoil-assisted trimaran designed to push the boundaries of recreational sailing. Unrestricted by arbitrary design limits, Rave is a speed machine for the real world. It uses tested materials and technology to achieve hyper speeds in conditions that exist outside testing tanks. Around the buoys, point-to-point, or on a Saturday cruise, Rave satisfies the urge to go fast.
