There is a video of these guys weighing the TNT34... the boat looks finished, but has no rigging/sails/mast... this tri came in at 1750kgs on the video...

Winches , deck-fittings, rigg, rudders, motorbracket, windscreen, a. s. o. ....300+kg
2,1--2,2to as estimated month ago, see posting 12.

and ? was something , what we would like to be hidden ?
Our weight expectation was less but nobody is perfect and we have not a fairy in our staff

To us TNT 34 is not only a major development as company but to sailing world this is a new way of folding that deserves space and attention.
Dragonfly people used folding as SwingWing for long time ,since 70,s .
Farrier patented his method and has applied to Corsair tris
For 40 years +/- there is no new method to fold trimaran until TNT 34 .

Now we are waiting for Baltic sea trails in the end of April which confirm finally perfomace and competition of TNT 34

Yes it would be nice to see some video of the TNT34 sailing in some decent wind... the videos you have sailing on the lake in 5kts of wind doesnt really show us anything...

Looks like the boat went well -congratulations! Didn't you say earlier that the boat would use lifting foils in the amas? Did you change your mind? I don't see them in the video....

• Beam trailer mode 2.9 m (9.5 ‘ like MC 30)
• Disp. 1.5 T
• Mast 15 m =49.2 ‘
• Sail Area - rigging and sails .They are 15-20 % larger than comparable size trimaran
• Power O/B or Diesel 20 hp to push up to 9-11 knots
• Two hydrofoils at 55 deg (optional )they supply 50 % lift at
• Bottom flat to encourage early planning,
• Floats skinny at 1:22 ratio. Lots of buoyancy forward to prevent pitchpole.
• Floats 210 % plus hydrofoils 50 % (effective from 8 knots and up)
• Bow on the main hull is plumb and floats reversed as on modern Tri i.e.axe bow
• Dual steering station for power like on MC 30 and tiller under sail
• Large open cockpit

Does the boat required the mast be lowered before folding?
