Sailing in Puget Sound.

Sailing in Puget Sound.

My 46′ Performance Trimaran, now Pipeline 3.

My 35′ power trimaran, built by legendary boat builder Andre Cocquyt. Foam/glass. Andre notes:
our trials got cut short due to hurricane Lee, the marina evacuated and it’s too late to put back in before the season ends per Oct. 1st. I saw 23.4 mph on the second test run. she likes to cruise happily and quietly around 3,400 rpm doing 14 mph. With engines in idle fwd, she does 6.5 mph. It will be interesting to see how she does next year with the trim mods and the swim platform.



My friend, brilliant designer and builder, built one of my power trimarans.
It looks wonderful. Especially when I stand back and look at it.
A pair of 50 HP, 4 cycle outboards pushes it at 24 knots. Sea trials were cancelled due to hurricane.

It had to be larger to carry the weight.
Foam/glass.





Am trying to post the updated wingmast article in PDF.
The venerable 23′ camping trimaran got a carbon/plywood crossbeam.

I’m almost done with designing this 54′ composite trimaran for a customer who grew up on a cruising Piver.
It will be electric powered hence all the photovoltaics.

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.


A customer, Terry, didn’t get around to building his actual boat yet, but he built a model. I like yellow boats.
