    My Small Bluewater Trimaran

    Thank you so much! You, sir, are a breath of fresh air! I guess I will call it a platform since only I see the boat :p At her full displacement...

    My Small Bluewater Trimaran

    My Small Bluewater Trimaran

    It would be hard to compare it to a monohull of equal displacement as this boat is unconventional in all areas. At 3.5' draft this vessel...

    My Small Bluewater Trimaran
