Weta Trimarans Performance Sailing for Everyone!

That is the best way to sum up the Weta 4.4 Trimaran from Weta Marine. Life is always about the give and take and the Weta gives alot and takes very little. The Weta is a versatile, fun to sail, easy to manage and very well built Trimaran that does a good job of keeping most sailors happy (we all know it is impossible to keep all sailors happy). A combination of stiff and lightweight fiberglass hulls, carbon beams and mast, a powerful sail plan along with great attention to detail make this one of the best new small sailboats to come out in years. Multihull pioneer Meade Gougeon calls his Weta a "dinghy on steroids with training wheels". Strict one design rules are in place to promote competitive and fair racing and after the racing you can use it to go for a cruise or to teach your family and friends (including the new friends you will make when this gorgeous boat is sitting on the beach). The owners of Weta Marine and designers of the Weta 4.4, Roger and Chris, put 6 years of development into the Weta 4.4 and it really shows. The Weta is currently all over the world with dealers in the UK, US, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Croatia, China, Italy, Thailand, New Zealand and even Australia (if the Aussies like a Kiwi boat something must be right with it!).
