I am still playing with the idea and tossing around ideas. If I went with a flat bottom or v-hull I could always add a thin layer of plywood on...
I have seen his web site and I like some of his ideas. I like the basic concept of his boats too.
LOL! I thought the thread was 'w 17 trimaran'. If I had searched for the whole thing I would have found it. :rolleyes: Richard, Dave Gentry...
Warwick, I can't find that thread. You can't use a singe letter 'W' in a search and without it, it just pulls up to much. Designers name didn't...
I am playing with a design for a lightweight recreational tri. What I have in mind is something around 18' long day sailor and have a few basic...
No, I am working on some recreational rowing designs right now. I am currently building 19' long 24" rowing .... boat. I want to call it a shell...
This I have to try! I have been playing with sails and this sounds great.
I didn't want to fan that ember into flames again! ;) But that is exactly what I had in mind. Since this is new ground for me I would rather go...
Tom, I know nothing about a junk rig but it is interesting. Will have to look at a little.

I pretty much have my design of my skin on frame tri finished. My next step is to settle on the sail plan. I really like the cat ketch rig and it...
Been a little under the weather but still reading. As I (think) I said. Kayak design is my forte', not sailboats so this is a new ground for me....
Foils just fascinate me. But for this boat I do not anticipate flying the main hull. Maybe down the road but I want to start with a little simpler...
For reference this has to do with the Skin on Frame trimaran I am working on. Is there a disadvantage to making the main hull double ended...
No, don't have one. This is all I have at the moment.
LOVE the dragon head!! I have been looking at this little tri and emailing with it's owner. [IMG] He is using sails from a Laser I...
Skin on frame = SOF The angle makes this one look ill proportioned but this would be similar to the construction but obviously a little heavier...
I have some general info but the design is very much a work in progress. I design and build kayaks, not sailing boats so this is new ground......
Playing with the idea of a SOF trimaran. I have a pretty good idea of the hull shape. Still refining it but I think I am close. Now I am starting...
