Corsair Dash 750: Can a folding trimaran beat high-performance monohulls? - Practical Boat Owner (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Corsair Dash 750 has a main and headsail area of 38.18sq m (411sq ft). Credit: David Harding Credit: David Harding As the number of trimarans around our shores increases – thanks in no small part to the success of Corsair and Dragonfly – more people have an opportunity to see what three hulls can do. For some, this might mean reassessing preconceptions. Trimarans don’t go to windward, right? Wrong! While out on a photographic mission in my RIB, I coincided with the end of a race from Cowes t
Astus 20.2 trimaran: The ultimate high-speed trailer-sailer? - Practical Boat Owner (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you're considering a boat you can trail and sail, why limit your options to just one hull? David Harding tests the Astus 20.2 trimaran Each fl oat (‘ama’ in tri-speak) contains 650 litres of buoyancy, capable of supporting nigh on twice the weight of the boat. Credit: David Harding Credit: David Harding Daysailers and weekends of around 20ft (6m) – like the Astus 20.2 – can make great trailable-sailers. It’s sometimes seen as too much of a sweat to launch and recover anything bigger for a sho
Faurby 335E: Elegant craftsmanship meets effortless sailing - Practical Boat Owner (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Few boats under 35ft (10.5m) are built to this sort of quality. This is why the Faurby 335E stands out, as David Harding found out The Faurby 335E is optimised for light airs but should also be a powerful performer in a breeze.

This is barely noticeable with the Faurby 335E. She started life as the 325, launched in 2011, though the
Searching for the best electric outboard for your tender? We put the 6.7kg ePropulsion eLite through a full week of cruising tests - Practical Boat Owner (opens the original)
Read excerpt
David Harding tests the quiet and light ePropulsion eLite electric outboard If you want a small electric outboard that’s light, quiet, easy to stow and simple to use, the ePropulsion eLite is well worth investigating. That was my conclusion when I first saw it and I reckoned it would be ideal for use on the tender to a yacht that a friend and I were planning to charter. On previous charters we’d rowed the dinghy when we wanted to explore or go ashore. That was rather limiting, because flat-botto
Varianta 37: a boat that goes back to basics - Practical Boat Owner (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Can a completely stripped-back 37-foot budget yacht deliver the pure sailing performance modern cruisers actually want? From the PBO archive, David Harding sails the Varianta 37 in the Solent to find out With her slippery hull and close-sheeting jib (roller-reefing is an option), the Varianta goes well to windward. Credit: David Harding Credit: David Harding All boats are not created equal, but generally the bigger the boat, the more money you will spend. This is where the Varianta 37 bucks the
