Tricky Five

Designed by Paolo Lodigiani and Matteo Costa

A 5 m catamaran drawn to a single aim: the most speed for the money, counting both materials and building hours. The hulls are easy to build and efficient at once, which is the whole trick of her. Stitch and glue, and a beginner build.

What building a Tricky Five actually takes

Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
