Hi all
I have this boat posted as a trimaran on the multi hull page, wich she is to a large degree, but she is intended to be sailed on her center hull, the akas are kind of big floats on the end of her wings, as she is too narrow to ballance exclusivly on the center hull. The sailor controlls heel by moving his weight along the rear ama like a sliding seat on an international canoe.
the boat is designed for a biplane rig using standard windsurfer masts and booms (not included with boat)
The Tri was designed for use with a ventilating front hydrofoil, a flat plate that generated lift like a foil untill it broke the waters surface then ran along the top as a highly efficient planing hull and also controlled the attitude of the aft hydrofoil, that remained submerged and carried 80% +- of the weight of craft and sailor... 8 yrs. later I have yet to build the foils.
so
free to a good home
Dan
