    Can someone pls indicate where the biggest strssses are expected in a trimaran structure setup.

    It seems it would be where the beams are connected to the centre hull, but I need to make sure.

    Thanks in advance

    Possibly at the chainplates when the mast is in compression and that goes without saying the mast compression strut if the mast is deck stepped.

    Dankie Wynand,
    I guess the usual overkill is the safest way...
