    Looking for something I could cruise with I enjoy racing and fishing and am set in a trimaran. Any recommended build plans or tips?

    Welcome to the Forum Holden.

    What size of trimaran are you thinking of, approximately?

    Do you want to build one yourself, or purchase one 'off the shelf' that is ready to go?

    Do you know how?

    Surely you can come up with some more specific attributes!
    Perhaps the waters you’d hope to sail, the length of time you’d spend aboard, the number of persons you’d like to have aboard?
    Is there a particular race class that you’re interested in?
    I would certainly look first at used boats, as building one requires incredible amounts of skill, time and money!
