Tricat 8.50

The Perfect Balance Between Adventure and Comfort

The Tricat 8.50 is the result of more than 25 years of trimaran design and construction expertise. Positioned between the 6.90 and the 30, it strikes a rare balance — lively and responsive under sail, yet genuinely comfortable for extended cruising.

For sailors who want multihull performance without giving up practical onboard living, the 8.50 sits in the sweet spot.

Designed for Real Cruising Comfort

Step below and you immediately notice the light and space — a bright saloon with panoramic portholes that has become a Tricat signature.

• 1.82 m headroom for easy movement
• Independent enclosed toilet for genuine privacy
• Fixed galley for proper meals at sea
• Five true berths over 2 metres long
• Comfortable aft berth beneath the cockpit
• Multiple clever storage areas throughout

The layout works equally well for a cruising couple, a group of friends, or a young family wanting space and security on the water.

Cockpit & Deck – Safe, Dry and Ergonomic

The generous freeboard creates a protected, dry cockpit — reassuring in coastal conditions. The deck layout is sleek, practical, and designed for safe movement underway.

Forward Zone

• Flat foredeck with secure handrails
• Bow roller and anchor locker
• Optional windlass
• Telescopic bowsprit

Cockpit Layout

• Long mainsheet track securing the cockpit
• Dedicated skipper’s position
• Separate crew/passenger zone
• Swim platform and technical access area
• Wide side decks and secure circulation make moving forward simple and safe

Performance Without Compromise

Why choose between performance and comfort?

The Tricat 8.50 delivers both, thanks to:

• Infusion-built construction for strength and controlled weight
• Quality Harken deck hardware as standard
• Daggerboards in the floats, controlled from the cockpit
• Choice of foresails (Code 0, Gennaker, Spinnaker)
• Large rigged trampolines for relaxation and dinghy storage
• Three technical compartments
• Two generous storage lockers

Careful hull design and weight management ensure impressive stability, confident handling, and rewarding sailing whether crewed or single-handed.

The shallow draft also allows access to anchorages and coastal areas that deeper yachts cannot reach.

A True Travel Companion

Like all Tricat models, the 8.50 features the brand’s folding system, allowing reduced beam in harbour and practical marina berthing.

Highly customisable in layout and finish, each boat can be tailored to suit your cruising program.

The Tricat 8.50 is not just a boat — it’s a versatile, performance-oriented cruising trimaran designed to deliver unforgettable moments on the water.
