A New, Bigger, Skiff/Trimaran at 18' LOA

[Chris Ostlind]

I tried to ignore the noise of the emails banging on my design conciousness and I failed.... miserably.

I've gone ahead and created a larger, more powerful, 18' LOA version of the previously introduced Montage Skiff/Tri and called it the Collage.

The new boat, just like the initial Montage, is designed as a stitch and glue build in marine plywood.... AND, there is also going to be a really bitchin', smooth hulled, strip built version for those who prefer the more organic look.

The new boat is described completely in an article at: www.lunadadesign.com I'd really like to hear your comments, criticisms and general off the wall satire about the bigger Collage. While the design is very close to complete, I can still make changes to the study to this point, so your input is valuable.

Thanks so much for all the input on the Montage concept study previously shown. Your experience-based comments have been remarkable and have essentially resulted in this preliminary design study for the Collage.
