Worth knowing
Torpen International Boats; cover, cost and conditions
Torpen International Boats is a yard in Qingdao, in China's Shandong province, and the boat it is known for is the Multi 23, a trimaran drawn by the French design office VPLP. The construction is vinylester infusion with glass fibre, carbon fibre and PVC foam, the beams joining the hulls are carbon, and the rig stands on a rotating aluminium wing mast. The designers present her as a dayboat that can be taken apart and sailed single handed. She is easy to spot: three hulls, 6.72 metres long and 4.8 metres from float to float.
Our model records list a single line for Torpen, the Multi 23, entered as a trimaran of 6.72 metres with build years from 2004 to 2016. No monohulls and no motor boats appear under the brand. According to published specifications the hull alone weighs about 400 kilograms, which makes the boat light enough to travel on a trailer and to be sailed on different waters from one weekend to the next.
A light multihull built with carbon parts needs a careful eye before purchase. On a used Multi 23, check the beam connections and their fittings, since they take the loads every time the boat is assembled and sailed hard. The rotating mast and its step should turn freely, and the floats deserve a close look for impact damage from launching ramps or capsizes. Ask whether the boat has been dismantled and reassembled often and whether the trailer suits the folded width. These trimarans are sailed on lakes, in sheltered bays and along the coast, and many owners take part in class events, so a clear record of past repairs is worth more than a fresh coat of polish.
