Windrider to distribute Astus trimarans in the US

From the following entry on Small Trimarans blog:

Windrider has just Signed a deal with Astus Boats to sell their trimarans in the United States. The online version of the marine industry magazine, “Trade Only Today,” posted this news a few days ago (on August 27th).

That’s pretty neat. I’ve periodically wondered when (if) somebody would become an Astus dealer here in the US. The Astus trimarans are featured in the book, “More Small Trimarans.” You can also find out more about them at the website of one of their European dealers here.

Shipyard Astusboats arrives at the Paris boat show with a new cruise folding and transportable trimaran, Astus 24. Designed by Eric Henseval, this unit of 7.40 metres is the largest produced to date by the morbihanais shipyard. It remains true to the brand's values: simplicity, ease, and low cost. Thanks to its size and its design, the new Astus should allow classic cruising in monohull regulars to the multi without too much to scare... Here is the video of Pierre-Marie Bourguinat explanations.
