Composites - strong, durable, light, versatile, insulative... without corrosion, UV or fatigue. It's time to innovate...
HIGH PRECISION FOILS, MASTS & COMPONENTS
Craftsmanship in Every Curve
High-Tech Tools for High-Performance Components
Triac's capabilities utilize state-of-the-art equipment and processes including:
KUKA 7-axis milling robot – for ultra-precise shaping (tooling and parts) and accurate drilling.
Autoclave curing – prepreg carbon fiber is cured to ensure maximum strength at minimum weight.
This combination of technology, experience, and craftsmanship allows us to build components that meet the highest performance standards.
Expanding Expertise
UAVs: In 2024, we produced tooling and components for a series of 7m UAVs with a 17m wingspan. Given the asymmetric foils on the Rapido trimarans are shaped like the wing of an aeroplane, moving into UAVs was, in many respects, a natural progression.
Outsourced in 2016: Triac completed its first third-party foiling project, producing a foil for the maxi yacht CQS. (The 8m long foils are structurally engineered to generate 100 tons of lift.)
Innovation Meets Opportunity - Electric foiling
The rise of electric foiling boats has created growing demand for lightweight, high-performance foils and components. In a field where every kilogram affects battery life and efficiency, Triac Composites is perfectly positioned to deliver strong, reliable, and ultra-lightweight parts:
Rapido Trimarans are performance sailing vessels and so Triac knows how to build lightweight; even the drawers in the galley are made from carbon fiber!
To increase the performance of these sailing trimarans, Triac has developed its capability with respect to foils, masts etc.
Why Triac Composites
Proven expertise in building high-performance composite marine components.
Track record with Rapido trimarans, advanced foils, and precision parts.
Skilled in precision milling, autoclave curing, and composite assembly.
Trusted partner for marine and industrial applications, including defence, requiring exacting standards.

In 2016, Triac Composites manufactured the base structure for the DSS (Dynamic Stability System) Foils on the Maxi Yacht, CQS.
The 8m long foils are structurally engineered to generate 100 tons of lift.
To withstand such loads, each structural skin has approximately 120 layers of high modulus carbon.
The foils were manufactured by Triac Composites using its own autoclave, here in Vietnam.
