Broad reaching is where multihulls steal a march on their monohull counterparts. The VirusBoats Magnum 18, a small trimaran day boat for the small family, is no exception. Her lightweight enables her to plane whilst the heavy weight of the keel in a typical monohull prevents this. This means that you can sail twice as far in a day as you could in a traditional day-boat.
