The original Farrier Command 10 might be a useful source of ideas as well. I have a full set of the plans in PDF format on my Mediafire storage,...

The 'transparent foil' is actually physically part of the 'mast' (wing) and is designed so that the taper at the masthead enables the entire...
It might even make sense to add a similar 'wedge' to the outside of the amas, as this is the side that is pressed most deeply in the water due to...
True. But thinking of a *folding* trimaran..... like my TT720 Farrier. There was also his Command 10 33' version, the largest folder I'm aware of....

I imagine the low down and central 'ballast' is simply that - ballast - and acts much the same way such mass does in monos, adds stability by...
Just out of curiousity, can anyone familiar with buoyancy principles etc comment on why many of the earlier trimarans had amas shorter than the...
I doubt slipping sideways will be an issue. You'd have to drop almost vertically, side-on, off the face of a curling breaker to be too worried...
If you increase the beam, you increase the forces acting on the rig. Ditto if you increase the floatation (volume) of the amas, as they will...
Yes, that's kind of what I'm looking for...so how come it came to be adopted in France..??
Well, it can be either lower case or sentence case. Upper case is also an acronym for something else... Basically it's like a rally, but normally...
Well, it's more about the "raid concept" itself, not especially as it applies to boats. For example, the locla Renault and Peugeot car clubs...
Good idea, will do.
G'day all! It's long been held that the concept of the 'raid' began as a French concept, and the term has some currency in 20thC French military...
