During the last trip I did pretty much finish up the new 2013 Trikala plans. Will take a week or two to get around to updating the website. Until the update hits, I will offer the new set at the old set price. New price will be more. I keep hearing that my sets are less cost than most. Maybe that hurts me overall. Have to fix that.
You can probably already tell that you can push this much harder than the Searail. And you can bring non-sailors along on this tri. Can’t imagine Auntie aboard a Searail in a blow.
And if I may, this new T19 looks a lot less frumpy than the Astus. Even if they did copy the sliding system.
The new owner sent me picture of his trimaran that I unexpectedly co-designed with legendary designer Bob Perry back in ’92. Is 62′ or 63′ long by 45′.
time to model the Trikala 19 trimaran in the “in-position”. It is less than 8′ wide (2.44m) in that position. And it expands back out in seconds. Building soon in Asia.
19 trimaran has been updated. The original design had a main hull and deck as 2 pieces. The update is a single piece, (well 2 halves) and looks more rounded. It also has X bows to increase speed in waves. I will be built in Asia. It can be made ready to trailer in a few minutes. It can stay on the water in the “in position” indefinitely. I’m sure it will cost less than the same size folder.
I just got permission to release this composite 12′ trimaran design to the public. It was designed to go into production in China. Plug on the project got pulled. It has an unstayed mast. Diameter in the model looks a bit large. It could also be roto-molded.
I see that Palmer Johnson has a new trimaran mega-yacht. It is 48 meters long. The 1% must be doing very well; it’s all carbon fiber. The design looks very post modern multihull: like Mike Schacht work, to the third power. The amas are just vestiges though; they could not support anything. However, as the guys from NAVSEA once reminded me, those amas could diffuse the thermal signature, protecting it from heat seeking missiles. It really is just a typical portly mega-yacht, albeit in carbon, with amas pasted on.
Ok Ok, this is why I have been kind of underground for a few days. Was rush deadline for the Singapore Asian Cruise Conference. 49 passenger, traditionalesque trimaran for Palawan. Foam/glass construction. Aeroesque rigs for easy handling. 65′ long
