Bonzer, is an Explorer 44 trimaran design, she combines comfortable accommodations with excellent performance.

In a breeze Bonzer will sail upwind faster than many racing monohulls. The deck layout is designed for easy short handed sailing. All sail controls are within easy reach. Sail hoisting can be done single handed from the cockpit.
