Idkfa has asked the critical question. Why not either build a small cuddy over the tramp and leave it as a cat OR add a simple vaka with the...
Your solution is http://www.trinardo.com/ Kjell has designed a new hull to go with the Tornado amas for low wave conditions in Sweden, which...
Good question about the head of the sail. It is an optical illusion due to the camera angle relative to the boat. Here is another picture of an...
Doug You get first viewing - not sure the client has even seen this yet - http://www.sailtech.com.au/website2011/skiffbeach.htm Alan
This is a new website I'm currently developing for my sailmaker (guess who is providing the sails for my new trimaran?) The site is still under...
Actually, 9 metres from the gooseneck to the head, plus 250 mm from the mast base to the gooseneck Cheers Alan
I have used an ENGEL fridge for some years and can highly recommend them as excellent examples of the best Japanese manufacturing. The only...
To avoid repetition, please see post 223 in the 22 - 24 trimaran thread. It has pictures of the folding beam pattern Cheers Alan
Great minds (also my inferior model) think alike. Here is the full size pattern made for my Trinardo hybrid now about 80% completed. The folding...
Sammy Just for interest, here is my adaptation of the beam root system. Inside the hull are aluminium frames that extend outside the hull about...
Hi Sammy There are several sites covering various Scarab builds, but the most useful in terms of detail is http://www.voile.org/trimaran/...
Hi Sammy For the amas, maybe consider finding an old Hobie 20 as a donor. It will save you a lot of work. If you want folding beams, look at...
Congratulations Delane - knew you could do it and the result proves the point. I know the experts are sincerely trying to help but many of the...
I certainly endorse the outboard option. I had an inboard Yanmar on my 30' cat and seemed to spend most of my time head down, *** up in the...
G'Day from Oz I'm now more than half way to building a (modified) Trinardo 6.2 metre trimaran with a new main hull and where the ama volumes...
Mastmate? Very interesting thread - under serious consideration for my 6.2m tri (about halfway constructed now). The use of the boom as a ginpole...
Maybe look at the Scarab at http://www.teamscarab.com.au/construction/scarab-670.html Alan
Yes, Munter was not happy with Doug Lord and actually sent me a private message "sort-of" saying he should not have said what he did. I am...
Beautiful work and a real credit to you. I can only hope my new tri where the Paulownia strip planking is nearly finished looks anywhere as good...
More on Paulownia Richard's comment is very interesting, even though I am already a convert to Paulownia. Please understand I come at this...
