[quote=davefarmer]Though I am loathe to disagree with Pete on anything, I have sailed a tri constructed similar to what you're proposing, and it was a very fine ride. This one had a Tornado center hull, and 5.5 am as, with a 5.5 rig, and it sailed flat and fast in the 10 to 12 kts we sailed in. I agree with Pete that your proposed boat would be heavier and somewhat slower than an 18 ft cat, and all that real estate might tempt you to drag along more stuff/weight, but if you can manage those issues, and like the design/construction process, I think you'll end up with a unique boat that will sail nicely in conditions under 20 kts of breeze. Keep us posted if you proceed!
