Elua has a new life

While in Oahu, I got to visit Elua (formerly Trilogy 2) thanks to Woody Brown (son of that Woody Brown).
A friend of his has it as a cruising boat now named Moana.
It was my first composite COI boat. In those days the USCG didn’t care if the builders followed the plans. Probably 1987.
A retired Australian metal worker told them that I was doing it wrong and they should do it the way Lock Crowther did it 15 years earlier.
Prior to this design I attended a great composites conference where Ron Reichard showed his OSTAR catamaran Fury, and how strong it was. I used his principles. I mentioned that.
The builder heard that Flury broke up at sea, and confused the two. He decided he didn’t want to build a boat that would break up. They followed the Australian.
