Build Process
Construction
Professional precision meets complete customization freedom.
Expect more from production boats. The Ipsum 45' trimaran is a bridge between two worlds. Future owners have complete freedom to set the balance between the visual emotion of the ’70s and the futuristic style of today’s giants. The range of options is extensive: from full carbon construction with aerodynamic covers inspired by the latest ULTIM, to hybrid builds using wood-epoxy, potentially finished in a historic yellow.
Professional precision where it matters most. Freedom to customize where it matters to you.
The Master Kit
Beyond this Master Kit, an extensive catalog of composite options awaits: from CNC flat panels and float covers to varied roof covers, modular aerodynamic arm fairings, additionnal rooms, modular interiors, utility bars, waterproof bags, appendices and diesel/electric motorizations. These hundreds of parts, combine endlessly to customize performance, layout and aesthetics. We supply them all for your yard to assemble, your unique Ipsum trimaran. Precise, high-performing and unique.
