This is how you sleep in a wide berth with a tiny trimaran. Muffalo a 24′ tri tearing up the water in northern Italy.

First run at updating the 38′ power trimaran. This first run is an update for unit #1, but will evolve into a full-on new model. I will morph the mission statement a bit also. They get better.  The new wave piercing amas displace about 3000 lbs.  Beam overall went up also.

My builders are not clubby. They do not need the reassurance of yuppie approval from a club. They set out simply building and sailing. Usually I never hear from them unless there is a problem. Roland’s extended 32′ tri is an example. What a wonderful surprise to get these pictures of a cruising trimaran in full.  I do really notice the “Crowther towers” that keep the cross tubes high enough inside to get under easily.  Bigger ama would look more elegant, but would interfere with the fit on the trailer.

Roland relates

“We sail this Year 4 months in Croatien and we are very happy to sail this Trimaran. He make on 8-10Kn Wind 7-8 Kn Speed 10 – 14 Kn Wind 10- 11 Kn Speed .We have for 4 Months clothes and
another things on Board, 120 L Benzin , 120 L Water and ,and … He sails fantastic .

This sure looks like Lance’s KHSD 37 trimaran in the Youtubes video. Does anyone know? I have not actually been on that boat.  I did take the picture below years ago.  Course Simmo kind of set the standard of what the above title words “hauling ass in a storm” actually look like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBvuQ9Bz_9E

Was sent this link. http://www.3hulls.com/index.php/chs-x19-trimaran.html Cool. I guess I better work up a contract. Very good to see.  More righting moment than the cats and bigger amas than most of the same size trimarans I’ve seen.

Latest 3D model update. All new ortho views pulled off this model now. This incarnation will be lighter and slightly wider overall.  The severe perspective is kind of interesting.

Just a comparison of the 2D 75′  tri design placed under the 3D model at 79′.

Everybody else was too late. It looked like deal of the century to me. My friend, and previous KHSD tri builder Thomas Dalzell bought it. It will be updated with more overall beam and new larger X-bow amas for the best ride.

This should be the last of the significant changes. It does look better even.
