Dazcat Trimaran ‘Paradox’

Dazcat Paradox, a trimaran launched in 1997 was our first design and build for paraplegic sailor Alan.

Some background

Paradox, originally 30ft (later extended), was specifically designed for paraplegic sailor Alan to enter the Royal Western Yacht Club’s two-handed Round Britain and Ireland Race. She also happened to be Simon Baker’s (our now Director) first job with Dazcat. Paradox went on to become the 3x winner of the race she was built for, once with Matt Baker – Simon’s brother and member of the Multimarine build team. She also came 2^nd in class in the Fastnet as well as winning her class in the Round the Island.

She was bought by Simon and Matt in 2001 and raced extensively until she was T boned by a monohull the day before the 2005 Fastnet. She was then bought and fixed up by two (other) boatbuilders and went on to win her class in the 2010 Fastnet, sailed by Will Claxton and Matt Gill. Sold to Italy in 2016 she is now available for day charter…

Designer Daz is immensely proud that Paradox has done so well.
