Corsair Trident
CORSAIR TRIDENT
The Trident is a three-hull power-sailer from Corsair, also
referred to as a trimaran. These craft have one main hull
and two outrigger hulls allowing the boat to sit higher
in the water. The Trident has a wide main hull for more
living space and plated beams for more deck space. As
expected, the Trident also has some tricks up her sleeve.
As with the other two Corsair offerings, the Trident has additional motors over a standard sailing trimaran. While people often expect a trimaran to have more speed than other sailing craft, the Trident can still leave them in shock. Both outrigger hulls have waterjet motors, much like the personal watercraft out their. The main hull has twin motors, giving the Trident four total motors. The waterjets also make a craft that most find unwieldy into something I would call graceful.
The next trick is probably the biggest selling point of the Trident and its pure sail sistercraft, the Triton. The outriggers often make a trimaran unwieldy and difficult to maneuver in tight spots, especially docks. The concept of retractable outriggers isn’t new, but retractable deck plated outriggers are. One or both of the outriggers can be retracted in towards the main hull to narrow the Trident.
While similar in length to the monohull Elysium, the Trident is wider and therefore offers a more spacious cabin. It has a full galley, two heads, one shower, a large sitting area, two single aft berths, two double fore berths, and a secondary ladder at the fore as well as one at the aft. The deck area is abundant, and with the extended beams it’s downright palatial. The foredeck has a large seating area that can be fitted with a hot tub instead of seating. The aft deck is covered but not enclosed and offers seating and a table. The pilot station is located on a raised platform above the aft deck, with secondary controls linked to a swing-out seat that comes from the aft deck and locks in place.
