Ricks low drag image...

Anybody know where I can find the image Rick W (AKA Guest625101138) posted on here about 2 or 3 years ago?

I've "Searched" and looked through a few old threads but just can't find it.

It was a low drag (surprise, surprise) tri, but motor driven, not human powered.

I looked in his Gallery but it's been deleted (the whole gallery).

Thought somebody might recall the thread off the top of their pretty little head.

This, perhaps: Cheap to run, cheap to build electro plywood cruiser ? (also post #20 and others). However, if you intend to offer it as a proposal to our friend with the old 18 hp Evinrude, I have to put a note of warning here - it is an extremely unseaworthy series of designs. Good for playing around in oil-flat protected waters with a good rescue service, and probably nothing else.

On the other side, I am quite impressed by this series of designs posted by Eric Deborde: Trimaran motorboat / stabilized monohull

Cheers

Thanks Daiqu, I'll check it out.

No, that wasn't my intension at all, I only asked over there as it seemed a viewer might know.

I have something completely different in mind.

Thanks again,

You're on the ball there BPL.

Looked at the thread there Daiqu and you were spot on.

My idea wasn't what I thought it might be, but thanks again for helping out, I really appreciate it.
