Multihull Worlds magazine has just reviewed one of the boats built by Triac Composites; the Rapido 53XS. And the magazine is quite impressed. See below.

Absolutely everything, from the rotating mast to the appendages, is made of carbon.
Everything, including the front rail and every single storage drawer, is built by the shipyard using techniques derived from ocean racing.
Triac Composites’ carbon composite workshops are also involved in industrial and domestic equipment, as well as subcontracting for other yacht builders.

When all is said and done, the 53XS weighs in at just 20,600 lbs (9.35 t). In contrast, the lightweight Neel 52 weighs in at 20,600 lbs (13.5 t), making the new Rapido’s weight-to-habitability ratio the best we’ve ever seen...
