I know this is CatSailor but I see a forum for F-Boats, is it legal to mention Trimaran on this forum anywhere?

Nobody is going to arrest you for mentioning trimarans - thats for sure.

Nobody here is going to give a wooo-hoo. Post it. Post it in the open forum...I rarely venture outside of here and I'm sure others are similar.

If this was SA and posted in the wrong group, you'd get crapped on from every angle. Thanks Guys.

I'd start selling bodily fluids for a $40k, ~25' tri that could fly the center hull.

Karl is just giving you the SA greeting. Several of us are on both forums. Don't worry - its a lot more ... tame around here. Except Karl. He's going through some hormone changes that make him moody 😛

I've been trying to get these folks to make a spot for beach cats for years. In fact just responded to their invitation this morning. Ping them, see if they'll make a spot for you.

A design brief would help (purpose, target market, etc).

Racing or cruising? If you make it too powerful, it may scare multihull converts and/or cruisers. If it's too slow, you defeat the purpose of being multihull.

Is it trailerable? how do you assemble/disassemble?

What price range?

Will this be OD, box rule, formula?

Is it available for homebuilders? Partially assembled?

how do you keep the shrouds taught when you slide the amas in and out?

That is either an issue or a feature. Unfortunately you will need to lower the mast before you slide the AMA's in. Same, Same on Weta, Windrider. The larger boats with Folding AKA's seem to have found a way around that.

Thanks waterbug_wpb

Take a look at the boat on www.3Hulls.com will be built in two versions. X19s -

Sport

will be the standard model and X19sr -

Super Race

will be an all carbon

whoop dedo

racer.

Very trailerable with sliding AKA's and the Sport Model at $14,995 for the kickstart will be an unbeatable price.

X19 Class Trimaran will have it's own One Design Rules.

Strictly Retail Purchase, you can still get the plans for the old, old, old 90's version from Kurt Hughes.

Their stays simply attach to the center hull. You could put baby stays on this one that attach to the existing stays and keep the mast supported to the center hull.

I'll have to do the goemetry and see if we can fit them in there and leave clearance for the screecher.

That's because this is NOT SA (and lots of us like it that way). The SA attitude does bleed over here at times, much to our chagrin.

This place is almost always nice to newbies. I do recall that you stepped in that Hobie-only beehive a while back. We do tend to have our hot buttons.

SA isn't even SA anymore. That place has gone extremely soft. Even the retards bashing away in PA have become a bag of puss pops compared to five years ago.

I've been trying to get cats interested in Hospice regattas for awhile. Maybe the Wetas want to take the lead in forming a pursuit fleet?

I've exchanged emails with the lady who runs the thing and I'm sure she would be amicable.

They all ready have a big mulultihull fleet. http://www.hospiceregattas.org/wordpress/?cat=121
