Yes that is my boat. I'm up in Carmen Bay near the city of Danao. I'm currently doing painting projects. The mast "sailed" very nicely through Yolanda (Haiyan Typhoon). I had 15 lines to shore so I didn't go very far during the storm.
See my online video on Youtube to look at it under sail with the previous test mast.

Rarely to find any infos about designer Jay Kantola... the lines of these Trimarans have their own beautyness and elegance. I love them.
Accidently I fell over this name because of pbmaise's monster trimaran of 65 ft. designed by Kantola... using a Crab Claw main sail with Aft-Mast rig. Interesting indeed.
And it seems there is another big Kantola Trimaran of 56 ft. sailing along South California coast, former being used as charter boat. See the Ketch rigged Tri via attached image (click on it to pop up in fully size) http://www.windchimecharters.com/about-us.html
Third one is the Trimaran Spirit Of Tsitika (home port: Canada), a 35 footer designed by Kantola... which I found reading a little story about anchoring on Trimarans published in 2014.
Out there is a 37 foot Kantola (the owner has it as 2nd boat)... built in 1979 and refitted during 2012-2014. As it looks the main hull was pro-longed from the original size of a 34 footer plus 3 ft extra. See thumbnail attached, pls click on it for resize.
My Dad had a 1988 Kantola 36’ by Bob Perkins of California Custom Yachts. If anyone has any knowledge of any Kantola’s for sale we would love nothing more to try and buy another. He sold it in the late 90’s and it was in San Pedro at that time. The name was StarTide. I had received photos from someone who had found what might have been my Dads in a yard in Napa, Ca. I believe it was destroyed by the yard as it was abandoned.
I thought I would try forums to see if I could track down any other Kantola's in the hope we can bring one back to our family.
