Cruising Multihulls

52' Trimaran

a 52' cruising trimaran in developed plywood.

This Cylinder Molded trimaran was designed for extended world cruising at good speed. It is a very logical and simple design so it will be easy to build. At a glance, the big, slender amas, wide beam, and deep board tell you it will be fast, safe, and point like crazy. Its all plywood/epoxy so will be a rapid build. The decks are ply/core/glass for quick construction and durability. Many of the CM Construction Manual pictures were of this boat being built.

Down below find sleeping for 6 and sit-down dining for 8. The half height board trunk supports the dining table. It has a large galley with an expanse of countertop.

A small 4 series Yanmar pushes it when needed.
