Kurt Hughes has been doing this stuff forever, might be worth dropping him an email. My other thought is to contact Morelli and Melvin, they did...
I've started fairing up the topsides now but didn't take any photos. I had a bad start where my micro balloon fairing mix sagged when it was...
Hi Doug, glad to hear you are recovering well.
Wow, it's been ages since I updated this thread. The female hull mould stations of my now non F40 carbon/sandwich trimaran have been CNC cut by...
Phenolic Microballoons are waterproof others can take in some moisture.
22' is a bit small. Silent Bay Charters use a Kurt Hughes designed 24' trimaran for day charters with good success.
Is it ok to call this boat a market failure now? Sure there were about three units built between the F4 and G4 variants but it didn't set the...
The Kraken in that photo was actually the 25' model.
I never did say the designers were bad, I said that I believed that many production multihull designs had regressed away from a design philosophy...
I think you are right much as it pains me to concede that. I can't see why you would give up on not having a boat with some performance chops for...

It's not unreasonable to query the direction that modern designs are going when there are videos on Youtube from sailing couples titled with...
Is it possible to note design regression? Where good balanced designs of the past are replaced with designs where the emphasis is on bigger berths...
Fair enough, nothing wrong with tinkering around with things.
I'm trying to get my head around the need for float daggers. If your Trem is like mine the daggerboard exits through the cockpit sole. Extra...
I think he was a bit optimistic at 44kUS plus as a starting bid. It's a beautiful built boat but has bugger all interior, a specialist boat that...
I'd build the new floats that Dick Newick included in his plans that you can buy for about 400USD from Pat Newick. You end up with a nice...
The temptation to give up strikes us all. There was a trimaran that came up recently in NSW at a very good price that I nearly jumped on but...
It's actually the boat that used to be known as vers un monde sans SIDA an older Nigel Iren's Multi50 design now being campaigned as Team Vent Debout.
A real drifter of a start, was cool to see a good turnout of multihulls, any info on the pink trimaran is that Anne Casenueve's trimaran?
