The Blue Coast Yachts 160’ Sailing Trimaran is the first sailing trimaran of this size ever to be built with folding hull beams. In open water he is 23 metres across, but in harbour configuration the outer hull beams fold in to a slender 11metres. In just a few minutes almost any mooring becomes accessible but when you’re back on the ocean with the hulls extended you will enjoy the benefits of a stable platform without the heeling of a monohull.
The BCY 160’ ST is a three-deck sloop-rigged trimaran writing new rules of yacht design and comfort. All of the features you would expect to find in a motor yacht come as standard but with the performance and sensation of a fast sailing yacht. He is capable of achieving exceptional speeds under power as well as high speed, long range cruising.
With comfort in mind her stability is such that at anchor there is little rolling, and when underway heeling has been kept to a minimum even in rough conditions because of the design of the trimaran’s long narrow hulls. The low draft allows anchoring and cruising close to the shore and in shallow waters.
The BCY 160’ ST has been designed to be built and sail in harmony with nature and all of the energy used on board comes from renewable sources. The BLUE COAST YACHTS 160’ harnesses the latest Battery Management System (BMS) technology using state-of-the-art lithium/ ion batteries. Additional power is available from the optional hybrid propulsion system and ensures that the BCY 160’ is a flagship for low emissions in the industry.
