The Windrider 17 is a versatile, rotomolded polyethylene trimaran that represents a unique bridge between high-performance multihull sailing and the accessible, "jump-in-and-go" philosophy of modern kayaking. Designed by the legendary multihull architect Jim Brown in collaboration with Windrider, the 17-footer was introduced around 2002 as a larger, more capable successor to the original Windrider 16. Unlike traditional sailboats that require complex rigging and athletic maneuvers to keep the boat upright, the Windrider 17 utilizes a wide 12-foot beam and two high-buoyancy outriggers (amas) to provide a nearly uncapsizeable platform. Its rotomolded construction makes it nearly indestructible, allowing sailors to beach the boat on rocky shorelines or drag it across sand without the structural anxieties associated with fiberglass or composite hulls.
