    Thanks Brian,

    The project boat is an 18 foot trimaran. It's really a tough balance between performance and simplicity. For me it will be a pleasure boat, but faster is always better. Otherwise I'd be sticking with my 17 foot swing keel boat. I would like the performance of a deep board. Of the boats I've had I really want a mix of speed comparable to a hobie 16, pointing ability of a Laser, and dryness comfort of my venture 17. I'm thinking the the deep centerboard is fairly important to maintaining pointing ability.
