20' Trimaran
|
 |
| A
very high performance two-place trimaran. |
| This
trimaran was first developed for the Worrell
1000 race. The idea was to give the crew
a more comfortable ride than the usual perch
hiked out on the high side of a beach cat.
The very wide overall beam gives it a nearly
equal righting moment to the cat. Unlike on
the cat, the crew can be rested and focused
during the long, wet race. The original
model was a developed plywood and core materials
construction fusion. The plans presently
are for both the developed plywood/core fusion
and completely composite. The composite model
may be in production soon.
The
boards and rudders are out on the amas. The
original boat had a high aspect ratio pivoting
centerboard. That kept it out of conflict with
the crew seats, but caused too much drag.
This
is a demountable design. The black and white
picture is the original unit #1.
