The Wētā 4.4 Trimaran represents a paradigm shift in the beach multihull market, successfully bridging the gap between highperformance racing machines and stable family daysailers. Conceived by Roger Kitchen and designed in collaboration with Tim Clissold of TC Design, the vessel was born from a desire to create a boat that offered the thrill of a multihull without the highconsequence learning curve of a traditional beach cat. Since its debut in 2006, the Wētā has grown from a New Zealandbased project into an international OneDesign class, with over 1,300 boats distributed globally. Manufactured by Xtreme Sailing Products, the hull utilizes a robust fiberglass and foam sandwich construction, though newer performanceoriented iterations have integrated carbon fiber components to further reduce weight and increase stiffness.
