Daysailer Multihulls
16' Trimaran
A
two-person, developed-plywood trimaran.
This
two-person, developed-plywood trimaran has proven to
be quite speedy both to built and under sail.
Again, beach cat rigs and sails can be used to get it
going quickly and at low cost if you look around a bit.
Its wide overall, with skinny hulls, bit amas and
light weight. It goes. As you see below, it was first designed in 3D then
the working drawings flowed off of that model. These folks used the amas alone as a rowing cat
while the main hull stayed home.
Finally,
Gizmo. In the lower right, Peter Walford's now
legendary Gizmo. It is a highly and continuously
modified KHSD 15 tri that was an earlier model of this
16'.
