good, but complicated to put together. i've been thinking along the lines of 'folds down', actually. but some of those designs are quite nice....
i can do a tri in that size. about the tops i'd want to put together for cartop use would be in the 21-22' size. the upshot to doing that is that...
metal choice shouldn't matter so long as your metals are all identical. so find out what the pump housing and impeller are, and match that....
well, after the talk that got started in 'cats vs. tris' thread, i figured, hey, what kind of fun would it be to get everyone involved, in some...

my own trimarans typically have no nets past the aft crossbeams. since i myself have a fair bit of deck, if i'm willing to sit on the cockpit lip,...
i'll agree, tris are much much easier to power on your own, for whatever reason. i like them for their stability, and more balanced feel. i'm in...
