Our Story

Fifteen Years of Trimaran Excellence

Feature

Founded in The Hague with a passion for multihull sailing, Elm Trail Proas has evolved into Europe's premier custom trimaran builder. Our journey began with a simple belief: every sailor deserves a vessel perfectly matched to their dreams and the waters they love to explore.

Craftsmanship Meets Innovation

Building Tomorrow's Trimarans Today

From our workshop in The Hague, we've been pushing the boundaries of trimaran design since our founding. What started as a small team of passionate marine engineers has grown into a respected name across European waters, known for delivering vessels that perfectly balance performance, comfort, and reliability.

Our approach combines traditional Dutch craftsmanship with cutting-edge marine technology. Every project begins with understanding your unique sailing aspirations, whether you're planning coastal adventures, offshore passages, or competitive racing. We then apply advanced computational fluid dynamics and structural analysis to create designs optimised for your specific requirements.

Each trimaran that leaves our facility represents months of careful planning, precision construction, and rigorous testing. We source the finest materials from trusted European suppliers and employ time-tested construction techniques alongside modern innovations. The result is a vessel built to provide decades of exceptional sailing experiences.
