I have been commissioned to design a 130′ trimaran freighter. Foam/glass. It will hold small containers. Roll on roll off. It will have lounging area for a dozen day passengers. Caribbean.

Terry’s DF-31
A customer, Terry, didn’t get around to building his actual boat yet, but he built a model. I like yellow boats.
Tomcat 30 Trimaran at Mobile
I just got pictures of a CM built Tomcat 30 trimaran with updated amas. It looks hot. It was built in the early 90s as I recall.
Still One of the Best Looking Boats I Have Ever Done
I just got this picture of the 3rd or 4th design that I ever did. Back in the hand drawing days. Cylinder molded plywood/epoxy. 1986 I think it was. It still looks really good to me. 37 feet.
Carbon Fiber Crosstubes Installed
When I ordered the carbon fiber cross tubes for my yellow 12′ trimaran, I assumed a modulus of about 16 million. And I speced the thickness accordingly.
I just got the spec sheet from the manufacturer.
8.5 x 10 to the 7th.
I checked with a scientist I know. That is 85 million.
That is more than 5 times the modulus. Wow.
They aren’t going anywhere.
Painted with Awlgrip clearcoat.

Nice Pictures of My 37′ Trimaran
This 37′ trimaran is one of my earliest. It was completely before CADD.
Triman Amilee Steps Her Mast
My heavily modified 37′ trimaran had its mast stepped last weekend. Beautiful work.
new 31 Tri at Wooden Boat Festival.
I can’t believe that I have been lured into designing a new millennium searunner. A custom design where the design requirements eventually became center cockpit over any others. I, and most other designers, rejected center cockpit as it takes up the biggest part of an already too skinny main hull. Ply/epoxy. For the wooden boat festival.
Added more items, lowered the boom, photovoltaic, and added people. And the in position. Customer has been friend for 30 years. I have not even thought about plans. Just enough for his wooden boat festival presentation. I just noticed that the seastays vanished in this Luxology rendering method. They are there.
Plywood flat panel construction main with core as needed. Amas in CM developed plywood. Amas and tubes slide in for mooring in a marina.
