The Trident 80 stands as a definitive example of the transition in yacht design during the mid-1970s, moving away from narrow, wineglass-shaped hulls toward more voluminous, beamier forms that prioritized interior volume without sacrificing seaworthiness. Designed by Daniel Tortarolo and primarily built by SMAP (Société de Moulage d'Applications Plastiques) in France, the model was also famously marketed and distributed by Trident Marine in the United Kingdom, where it earned a reputation as a robust "pocket cruiser." Produced between 1975 and 1984, with over 600 hulls launched, the Trident 80 was a commercial success that bridged the gap between a spirited club racer and a dependable family cruiser. According to Bateaux.com, the vessel is celebrated for its longevity and its ability to handle coastal hops and cross-channel passages with equal aplomb.
