MOTIVE 25R
25' SAILING TRIMARAN

Motive Trimarans hired P&W to develop the Motive 25R, the first carbon fiber, production trimaran in its class. Sleek, modern and performance oriented, the Motive 25R is fast, lightweight and simple to sail. The design brief called for an open, mid-size trimaran of modern length to beam ratio, capable of flying the center hull, while carrying six adults at speeds of more than 20 knots.

In keeping within the design parameters of simplicity and easy of handling, P&W developed the unique sail stowage system which allows a boomless 243 square foot square top main sail.

The Motive 25R debuted at the Newport International Boatshow on September 13, 2012, winning the best new sailboat of the show.
