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.
I finally got my first pictures of the actual KHSD 38 power trimaran trawler completed. It is for sale for a crazy low price. Construction looks great. The amas look way too small to me. In the design, they go up to the underside of the cross tubes and have rounded deck. An easy fix that one is. New versions of it have even bigger amas, though friend Steve Scheidler crossed Pacific in about same size boat with same size amas as designed.
And I had the motors on the sides of the main hull so it could turn in its own length.
Scroll down the page and turn down your speakers. I could not grab any pictures from it. http://www.pedersonmarinesalesllc.com/
This should be the last of the significant changes. It does look better even.
Thursday’s job was to create some updated renderings of the 149′ passenger ferry design. They never real till they real, but this one might go. Interesting irony that it might start in Africa first.
I recall that Richard’s excellent presentation on it was soundly rejected by Washington State Ferries some 25 years ago with the words “If it ain’t steel, we ain’t doin it.” Its foam/glass. Aiming for 40+ knots and 2500 hp. 149 seats.
The work on the 75′ trimaran moves along. I does keep getting updated and refined as each stage better informs possible options.
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.
