Need help ,trimaran

I am seeking a sketch or drawing of how to build amas and main hull for a 28' trimaran, or a catamaran, plywood, from scratch.Conventional building, or stitch and glue?
I think I can build such a boat. Would like to see what the frames and stringers look like and what sizes would be appropriate for a 28 footer.
Thank-you!
You can respond through this site or direct to: mcalpinite@alltel.net
or to: Pete Shaw PO Box 224, McAlpin, Fl. 32062
Happy building! Pete
this boat will be for cruising, and have galley etc.

hi pete,
Looks like we have similar ideas. I am looking forward on building some kind of performance sailing boat, longer I am thinking about I think about a tri. I would be very pleased if I anybody gave me any information about sailboats like these. Materials, hull shape, sail shape everything. If sbd who have built any tri would say what parts they found dificult to design and manufacture, maybe we can talk about how to make things easier to do and so on.
thanks,
Vilius

James Wharram has desined some fine if unconventional boats: http://www.wharram.com/

If you don't plan to sail over the edge of the world with the lemmings it's agreat place to start or end.

28' trimaran plans

Hello Vilius,
Yes we both seem to be wanting the same type boat!
I amtaking considerable heat from the wife on this as she does not think I can build a boat!
Anyway check out the Lively 28 at Clarkcraft.com

best regards, Pete
