Weta Trimaran was awarded Boat of the Year by Sailing World magazine. There are two distinct builds of the Weta Trimaran, the 'original build' and the '2015 Weta' which was created from a new mold and included (mostly internal) hull revisions. In April 2017, Weta announced the availability of a foam-core Weta which was 12 kg lighter than the Standard boat which is still available. The foam core boat is right on the minimum weight in the class rules. From 2006 to 2014 the 'original build' was manufactured in China for Weta Marine and sailed internationally with 1000 boats sold to date

This helps maintain uniform tension in each panel of the sail. Western ship designers Tom Colvin,
