Get hold of our 20.5 stock boat – available now! 

Offering exhilarating performance yet easy to rig, handle and tow to your favourite sailing areas, the Astus 20.5 trimaran is now even better.  The Small Yacht Company are giving away a free gennaker with furler and bowsprit with the 2023 stock boat we have on site right now!

Described by Astus Boats as their Coastal Cruiser, the 20.5 is rapidly becoming their most successful trimaran to date. No wonder. As a result of its  partnership with world renowned naval architects, VPLP, Astus Boats have come up with a real head turner. Huge floats with wave piercing hulls placed further apart and forward give the new 20.5 a very contemporary look and a truly stable platform.

Blistering speeds can be achieved at a crew-friendly low angle of heel. Of course, with speed comes extended range. Previously out-of-reach destinations become a real possibility for day-trips or weekends thanks to a cabin for two, featuring a long v-berth, plenty of storage and an off-set centre board for easy access.

The Astus 20.5 succeeds the popular Astus 20.2, of which 120 were sold. With the 20.5 Astus have been bold – the new boat builds on the successful features of previous models but now goes a whole lot further:

– High-performance with modern, sporty lines offering effortless double digit boat speeds

– Stability and a low angle of heel courtesy of massive 930 litre floats

– Simple to rig and handle – single handed mast stepping is realistic

– Easily towed –  the ‘Infusion’ built boat weighs in at only 490kg, so it can be towed by a Ford KA!

– Retractable floats and shallow draft provide limitless opportunities to explore new sailing areas

– Can be used as a weekend cruiser with a long v-berth for overnight stays and masses of storage under the cockpit

– Low cost of ownership – maintenance is minimal and garage or driveway storage is a realistic option

– Multiple options from ‘Leisure’ to ultralight ‘Infusion’ models and sport rigs to suit every sailing style

– Affordable prices, starting at only £30,250 inc VAT/ex works (all prices are subject to the prevailing exchange rate).
