This
trimaran was designed to combine the experience of a
wide open living room on the water that a big cat has,
with the superior manuverability and upwind work that
a tri gives. It was initiated by a client in Portugal,
but was not actually built. This would be an amazing
yacht to own. The owner can gaze out the picture windows
like a cat has, but it will outperform the same size
cat in the nasty stuff. The original design had a conservative
rig size. I would be pleased to revise it to the hot.
Construction
is foam/glass. A larger 4 series Yanmar provides power
when the wind dies, though this unit will sail much
better than a cat in those light conditions. |
