Most boats make you choose: the trailer or the ocean. This shelf holds the ones that refuse — trimarans that fold to road width and carry a genuine ocean pedigree. It is the rarest combination in sailing, and Scout verifies both halves against the design file: the folded beam from the drawing, the ocean credit from the design's record, never from a listing's adjectives.

Three yards have proven the trick can be done in production. Corsair Marine builds Ian Farrier's folding system into everything from the weekender F-24 up — and the Corsair 36 and 37 have crossed to Bermuda and raced around Britain; Quorning's Dragonfly 28 and 32 fold on Danish swing-wings and cruise open water with heirloom resale values to show for it. Between the two yards sit all six picks above, $86k to $240k.

If the road matters more than the crossing, the wider family — every folding tri regardless of pedigree — lives on the trailerable shelf. If the crossing matters more than the road, the fixed-beam ocean boats assemble on the bluewater shelf. This page is the intersection, and it is small on purpose.
