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.
New 54′ Trimaran for Nanaimo
Check Your 20 oz. Triaxial
Triaxial roving has had the same makup ever since I first heard about it. The 0 degree has the same weight as the combined weight of the +- 45s.
I have a 25′ daycharter cat being built in Seattle. The sample testing done by Gougeons gave very low results. And the burn test reveled that it only had 20% 0 degree fiber. No wonder the low numbers.
Orca has two different 20 oz. triaxial spec sheets apparently. Be very careful which product you get.
The one that I am used to has 354 gsm for the 0 degree and 200 gsm for each of the +-45s.
The other one has a 0 degree of only 142 gsm and +-45s of 292 gsm. each. That is clearly an inferior product but it is still called 20 oz. triaxial. Beware. First the bad one, then below, the good 20 oz. triaxial. I wonder who thought skimping on the 0 degrees would be smart?
Mosquito Fleet
I finally got a shout out from Marine Log magazine about my 65′ Mosquito Fleet catamaran proposal.
New 44′ Catamaran Design
I have just been given permission to release my new 44′ sailing catamaran design. It was based on my circumnavigating 42′ cat. With lots of improvements. It will be on the website soon. Foam/glass.

Jay at Adventure Cats reminded me that there are newer pictures of going under Golden Gate bridge. My 65 daycharter cat.
