Rapido 60 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Rapido 60 means considering a 59-foot ocean trimaran built by Rapido Trimarans from 2015, designed by Morelli & Melvin as a short-handed performance cruiser. These are owner-operated boats with the living space concentrated in a central hull and the kind of sail plan normally seen on a 60-foot catamaran, but at roughly half the weight. Ex-charter examples are common, so condition and prior use deserve a careful look.
Layouts on the Used Market
Charter four-cabin arrangements are the more common layout available used, though other versions exist. The central hull holds the saloon, galley, and nav station on one level, with the head and shower forward and an aft cabin accessed from the cockpit. A multifunction watertight locker opens from the cockpit and can include bunks. The amas provide massive stowage rather than cabin space, and forward of the mast a dedicated sunning space is found.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Power and energy are commonly handled with a 24-volt bank of lithium batteries and solar, often paired with a bow thruster for close-quarters control. Sail handling favors a short-handed setup, with nearly all controls at the helm and a bimini-mounted electric winch; an asymmetric spinnaker is often seen for downwind speed. Navigation and safety gear frequently include radar, autopilot, and an EPIRB. The enormous trampoline nets and a circumnavigation-oriented outfitting are common, reflecting the boat's ocean brief.
What to Inspect
The structural story is well founded: all three hulls have watertight bulkheads and high-load areas such as cockpit door frames are carbon-reinforced anchor. Amas are bolted and glued after delivery rather than folding like smaller siblings anchor, so check those joints for any separation or osmotic staining. The foam-sandwich and carbon construction was engineered to spring back from severe twisting, but a survey should confirm no lingering distortion. Verify the trampolines remain fixed on laminated battens without screw penetrations that could weaken the structure.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These trimarans typically appear in the United States and Indonesia. For a buyer, the short checklist is: confirm ama glue-and-bolt integrity, validate watertight bulkheads and carbon reinforcements, assess lithium and solar health for off-grid cruising, and decide between a charter four-cabin layout and a private configuration. A Rapido 60 rewards the thorough inspector with a fast, stable, short-handed ocean home.
