Diam 24 One Design

The Diam 24 is a 24-foot (7.25m) one-design racing trimaran built by ADH Inotec to a VPLP design. It is built for acceleration: a fully battened, square-top mainsail, a rotating carbon mast, and high-volume piercing bows that keep the boat driving forward instead of digging in. It is a proven one-design racing boat first, but its stability and forgiving manners also make it a genuine entry point into multihull sailing — rewarding precise driving and accurate trim from day one, with real depth for racers to keep refining for years.

  • Crew: 3 to 4 sailors (target weight: 250kg – 280kg)
  • Key Focus: Rig tension through the diamond spreaders, mast rotation angle, dynamic crew weight placement and mainsail power management.

Core Characteristics

  • Stable and Forgiving: The three-hull configuration gives a wide, secure platform with real natural stability. Heel stays minimal, so new sailors can build confidence without feeling overpowered by the boat.
  • Responsive Performance: Built light, the Diam 24 answers the breeze immediately and predictably — good sail trim shows up as speed right away, making it an unusually clear boat for learning how wind becomes momentum.
  • Scalable Learning Curve: Straightforward to sail on day one, with real depth underneath: mast rotation, dynamic rig tension, and daggerboard trim give experienced racers plenty to keep optimizing.
  • Practical Modularity: The central hull, crossbeams, and floats disassemble for transport, keeping shoreside logistics, off-season storage, and maintenance manageable despite the boat's wide footprint on the water.

The Crew Experience

Sailing a Diam 24 is a close, communicative team effort. With a crew of three or four, the wide trampolines give everyone room to move, watch the fleet, and call trim changes clearly. For newer sailors, it's a low-pressure place to learn teamwork and boat handling; for racers, precise trim and coordinated crew movement turn the same boat into fast, tactical one-design racing, with 20+ knot boatspeeds downwind in a good breeze.
