Ed Horstman designed TRIMARAN and CATAMARAN plans are drawn for the first time builder. Plans are concise and clearly drawn so the builder can easily follow each building step. Designs are continuously updated with your input and new ideas. Plans include full size patterns to 63'. The larger TRI's and CAT's have full radius hulls.With no lofting you build right away. The DESIGNER'S book TRIMARAN and CATAMARAN CONSTRUCTION is part of the plans (over 21') and covers all phases of construction. Plans are leased to build ONE boat, NO time limit. Tri-Star designs are proven designs, sailing the seven seas since 1964. Free consultation is provided to the original non-professional builder till he or she is sailing the seven seas. All boats may be built with flared hulls, with the exception of the TRI 25, TRI 26MT, CAT 27PC and the CAT 27. A DESIGN FEE for customer modifications to stock plans.

Then and now

The seafront of Cartagena in Colombia is the backdrop for two sailing vessels of different epochs and sharply contrasting character.

Against the sea wall  Galeon Bucanero , a replica of a Spanish galleon of the seventeenth century is totally at home against the fortifications of this historically significant Spanish port city.

In the foreground Chincogan 52  Sole currently circumnavigating the globe stops over en route to Panama and the Society Islands.

Over the years I've received many wonderful photos of our boats from around the world. This one is an absolute classic. Many thanks to Mike and Sarah Mason for the shot.

The 80' Power Trimaran 'TROIKA' Click for Larger Image Perspective Aft Starb'd | Perspective Fwd Portside | Perspective Fwd Low | Perspective Above Port | Perspective Above Starb'd   Copyright 2011 - 2013Michael Kasten The Concept The idea for this design is to achieve high efficiency under power in a seaworthy trimaran, and to have an on-deck pilot house that would include an ample saloon and galley. The most efficient hull form is always a long, slender shape with easy lines. Thus it is natural to consider a trimaran, where the center hull can be light, long and slender in order to minimize wave-making resistance at speed. With a trimaran, the outer hulls can be designed so they are only immersed sufficiently to provide stability, but with sufficient reserve buoyancy for safe ocean travel. With this, the outer hulls contribute as little as possible to the overall resistance under way. Layout: The trimaran hull is quite narrow inside, making for a limited number of options for the layout below. Thus, we have provided a pilot house that extends beyond the center hull sides, and ample length in order to carry the house gracefully. Outboard of the house is a side deck on each side with an open wood grating to allow it to shed water, but still be firm under-foot. The "arms" that bridge across the hulls are designed for maximum strength and to house light weight items for easy access to the side decks. The amas are quite small, and should be kept water tight with a secure hatch. Each outer hull could become a small 'kid's cabin' so they would have their own 'private vessel' to command...! Alternately, though it is best to keep them as light as possible, they could be used for light weight storage, say for fenders, lines, sails, etc. Appearance: Despite many of my designs having a rather traditional appearance, I actually like 'spaceship' styling on boats, such as the well known 'ILAN Voyager' or the 'Cable & Wireless.' With that in mind, I have allowed a little of that wildness to enter the picture here. But I also wanted to step away from the "airplane" type of styling for the house structures that has become so common these days. Here, the house is upright, allowing full use of the interior space, and an excellent opportunity for windows all around. Sails: Having been conceived as an efficient motor vessel, sails are considered primarily as an emergency get-home strategy. However, there is no doubt that sails can contribute well to the overall efficiency of the machine. The synergy of motor-sailing has to be experienced to appreciate. The rig for this purpose can take a variety of forms, from the Polynesian sail types, to junk sails, to possibly a cat-ketch configuration. Mast placement is always problematic to the interior layout, so here they would ideally be deck stepped, allowing the masts to also be easily lowered. Kites...! If a sail rig and masts were not desired, wind propulsion is still quite possible using kites...! This is not at all far-fetched. A good kite system it probably the perfect get-home rig, and offers excellent propulsion, especially down wind or on a reach, however they also can be made to work to windward. This technology is actually well developed among kite buggies, kite surfers, and even for large cargo vessels. Keels: For good performance whilst 'get-home' sailing or motor-sailing, dagger-boards or centerboards are planned. With some ingenuity, they can be located so they do not interfere with the accommodations. Materials: The structure in this case is planned for light weight wood-epoxy throughout. However this shape is equally well suited to the use of a light GRP structure. For a snapshot of our thinking about this kind of option, please see my article on Composites .   Materials Considerations Given the type of vessel in question we can definitively say a few things about the materials of construction: Building a vessel of this type in steel would be completely out of the question, due to its weight, which would quickly defeat the purpose of the vessel - i.e. to be light and lean. Aluminum alloy would be an excellent choice for the entire structure, being strong, stiff, and light. However for the shapes being considered here, there would be quite a bit of forming required. Not at all impossible, merely labor intensive. Cored FRP construction does offer several advantages, among them strength, longevity and freedom from general maintenance. Composite construction of any kind will always be more costly in terms of materials than any other type of structure. However, a one-off mould can be easily carved out of foam using a 5-axis router, directly from the 3-D NURBS surface model. With that, labor cost would be minimized. In order to achieve the best laminate quality, we prefer vinyl ester resin or epoxy resin. With these, the logical fabric would be Kevlar or another high strength fiber such as E-glass or S-glass. There is little point with a cruising vessel to use high-cost exotic fibers such as carbon fiber. While light and stiff, carbon fiber is quite expensive, thus it is ordinarily ruled out for this kind of boat. Cold-moulded wood-epoxy construction is also strong and light in weight, offering a fairly quickly achieved structure for the hulls, the beams and the house using internal web frames and stringers. A light weight interior is equally important. In order to achieve this, I like to make use of honeycomb panels for joinery flats wherever it is practical and easy to do so. One such material brand is Nida-Core, possibly the most cost effective among the HC panels. Nida Core panels have thin plywood skins bonded to a phenolic resin honeycomb core. This produces very stiff and light weight interior joinery with more or less the same labor cost as with standard plywood construction.   Hull Form The amas (the outer hulls) should not be deep in the water. Opinion varies widely on this, with some advocating that the amas be completely clear of the water with the vessel upright. In my view, the amas should just "kiss" the water when at rest with the vessel lightly loaded. Thus, the amas would never be entirely free of the water unless rolling in a sea, or if a sail rig were provided and the vessel were under a press of sail. A monohull or a power catamaran can be designed to carry enormous cargo, however a trimaran cannot tolerate being overly burdened by the accumulation of extra weight, which most cruising vessels seem to suffer from. Vigilance will therefore be required in order to preserve the inherently excellent performance that such a long, light and lean vessel has to offer. Opinion is also divided on the best fore and aft location for the amas. In this case, the amas have been located quite far aft so that they can provide added buoyancy where it is needed most while under power.  In other words, in the aft location the amas help the stern of the vessel resist squatting at speed.  In this location they also help support the weight of engines and the house structure. The aft location also minimizes any tendency to trip, and provides the maximum tracking ability. Naturally, if sailing ability were to receive greater emphasis, the amas would be located farther forward in order to maximize sailing stability. However, even for sailing the amas would not be moved beyond amidships, as that would introduce the potential for tripping as well as potential steering anomalies.   Power & Range A trimaran allows the use of an efficient single engine, and there is no need for roll attenuation devices to complicate things... Power could be via a diesel engine located below the Pilot House in the main hull, or could be diesel-electric. All systems must be kept as light as possible, however this need not preclude the use of simple battery power, using solar and wind assist. When you consider eliminating the weight of an auxiliary diesel generator and the fuel to run it, this option begins to make fairly good sense..! In this case much more emphasis would be placed on the vessel's sailing ability. Being long, light and narrow, the trimaran will be capable of exceeding its theoretical hull speed by quite a bit. Although displacement speeds as high as twelve knots would be possible, higher speed always requires considerably more power. On a WL of around 70 feet, in order to achieve the best combination of range and speed under power, the sweet spot will be a cruising speed of between nine and ten knots.   Sailing Option If it were desired to turn the 80' Troika into a full-on sailing machine, the primary change would be to the amas, making them slightly larger and placing them farther forward for the best stability and balance under sail.  The 80' Troika is a perfect candidate for using a modern fully battened ketch rig, such as that which we have outlined for the 50' Sonja prototype.   Summary The power trimaran has excellent merit for long range cruising. A few of the reasons for that statement are as follows: Monohull power passagemakers expend considerable expense on roll damping, which in this case is just not an issue.  Compared to active stabilizers, the amas would be silent and efficient.   Compared to paravanes, the amas would be very simple, would require no tending, would provide extra space and extra buoyancy, and would not present nearly the amount of drag induced by paravanes. There have been some very impressive voyages in power trimarans of late. The whole concept has engendered a completely new vessel type: the ILAN (Incredibly Long And Narrow). An internet search for ILAN will turn up quite a few interesting precedents for such a vessel, and illustrates the practicality of the concept. With an ILAN type the hull materials must be light weight in the extreme, therefore the use of more exotic materials and construction techniques should be assumed. The adventure with the 80' Troika design has been: To create the best combination of economy and efficiency under power To introduce a unique and interesting aesthetic style To create a shape that lends itself to GRP or Cold Moulded building methods I think those design objectives have been admirably met...!

Dismantlable and transportable

power trimaran plans

A dismantlable powercat can be transported on a simple flatbed trailer... as long as it is of reasonable length and light in weight. Naval architect Richard Woods was able to test the validity of the concept with his own Skoota 28: the Aegean 30 is a development of the Skoota 28, still for building in plywood/epoxy and dismantlable. The objective was to increase the beam - now close to that of a sailing catamaran - and the headroom while offering two additional berths in the hulls. The outboard motors make beaching easier and safer - no rudders and engine legs. Two 40 to 60 HP engines guarantee a cruising speed of 10-12 knots (16-20 knots top speed).

Architect: Richard Woods Design  Material: Epoxy plywood Overall length: 30’2” (9.20m) Waterline length: 289’ (8.85 m) Beam: 16’5” (5.00 m) Draft: 14” (0.36 m) Headroom in nacelle: 6’3” (1.90 m) Light displacement: 5,500 lbs (2.5 t) Laden displacement: 7,000 lbs (3.2 t) Engines: 2 x 40 to 60 HP outboards  Cruising speed: 10/12 knots Max speed: 16/20 knots

L925 SEMI DISPLACEMENT POWER CAT

Amateur or professional construction in plywood/epoxy.

power trimaran plans

New Zealand-based naval architecture firm Dan Leech is offering a number of power multihulls from 25 to 60 feet (7.5 to 18 m) for amateur or professional construction. Among them, the L925 is the perfect choice for relaxed cruising for a couple. This model is built in ½” (12 mm) plywood - the panels can be digitally cut - with glass/epoxy reinforcements. Its limited beam will allow you access to a marina slip without any noticeable extra cost. On the other hand, the gain in habitability and stability is considerable compared to a single-hulled motorboat. This kind of construction is very accessible to an enlightened amateur (4,000 hours of work were counted for the first model) all the more so as having outboard motors for propulsion considerably simplifies the technical aspects. Despite its semi-displacement hulls, the L925 is capable of making more than 20 knots with two 90 hp engines.

Construction: Amateur or professional Architect: Dan Leech Naval Architect Length: 30’4” (9.25 m) Waterline length: 24’9” (7.55 m) Beam: 11’ (3.35 m) Draft: 19” (0.48 m) - engines up Recommended engines: 2 x 90 HP outboards Cruising speed: 17 knots Max speed: 22 knots Fuel: 79 US gal (300 l)

ARROWCAT 320

Compact but luxurious.

power trimaran plans

The ArrowCat 320 is a successful model - now in its third generation. The smallest of the Arrowcat range, it features a luxurious finish - rare in compact powercats - such as a wooden steering wheel, or modern, full instrumentation on a carbon-look dashboard. Inside, the manufacturer has paid particular attention to the owner’s cabin. The 320 is powered by two outboard motors. The limited beam of 10 feet (3.05 m) allows the boat to be transported by road in certain countries such as the United ...

LEEN 72 trimaran Aeroyacht Multihull Specialists

The LEEN 72 Power Trimaran is an avantgarde, long range cruising multihull.  She is perfectly capable of transatlantic voyages and even living aboard in high latitudes.

The LEEN 72 is wide multihull and consequently she has another benefit beyond range and stability. Her interior and exterior areas are reminiscent of a 100-foot monohull! She is 29 feet wide, which translates to 1,378 square feet of useable space.

Unprecedented Cruising Range. Experienced Composite Construction

Built in a state of the art composite process this innovative power trimaran has a range of 3000 miles. Fuel up only once a year! Consequently as with all LEEN power multihulls, a large single diesel engine is accompanied by twin electric drives in the outer hulls. Experience silent maneuvering in port with the electric pod-drives. The LEEN range is a true hybrid electric multihull and a large generator acts as an effective range extender. With just the electric drives the boat is capable of speeds of up to 5 knots. Typical cruise is around 10 knots and consumption is a super-low 2l/hour. Discover fuel economy of up to 10 times more than a classic power trawler!

LEEN 72 Power Trimaran

Choose your Interior. The Options are Endless

The 72 comes in either a three- or four-stateroom setup. Both options feature a very private, main-deck master with an athwartship king-size berth. The spacious owner suite can either be situated on the main deck or in the main hull forward. The choice is yours. Enjoy the expanse of the LEEN’s flybridge. It encompasses 500 square feet of space and is highly customizable, with lounges, sunpads, and dining tables. All bespoke to an owner’s particular tastes.

The main deck is flush between the cockpit and the salon, making the transit from the exterior to the interior seamless. This is the DNA of a thoughtful design. At the interior helm, a comfortable nav seat for two is to starboard and is accompanied by settees to port, which provide guests perfect sea views.

Avantgarde Design. Experienced  Build Team

The LEEN 56 Power Trimaran is a true shorthanded vessel. This boat is a true liveaboard yacht, which can easily be operated by a husband and wife team. NEEL and LEEN trimarans offer their full experience of having built more than 2000 multihulls.

EAGLE 4.6 POWER TRIMARAN

power trimaran plans

- Efficient -Fast - Safe - Stable-

The Eagle 4.6 metre power trimaran is a practical and efficient powerboat that can be propelled at good speeds using a small outboard motor. The economical construction method, easily driven hulls, and the ability to be powered by small outboards make this a cost effective powerboat.

Widely spaced amas (outrigger hulls) make the Eagle extremely stable, and 10 individual watertight compartments make it nearly unsinkable. High stability makes the Eagle great for all forms of fishing, and the low amas make it easy to climb aboard after swimming or snorkeling. 

The slender, deep vee main hull cuts through chop easily, gives a much smoother ride than most monohull powerboats and requires less power to propel. With an 8hp outboard motor and outboard mounted hydrofoil, the Eagle has a maximum speed of around 15 knots, but is happiest and most efficient when cruising at around 10 - 11 knots. The Eagle is most suitable for outboard motors form 5hp - 15hp but can be used with smaller motors. In Initial testing the Eagle achieved over 9 knots with only 3.3hp*.

The Eagle is designed to work best with an outboard motor fitted with a hydrofoil. We recommend the SST-B Series Hydrofoil.

Stitch and tape plywood construction is simple and cost effective and the Eagle can be built by anyone with good DIY skills, although prior experience working with stitch and tape is recommended for this boat. 

*Test with 3.3hp outboard motor performed in calm conditions with one person aboard.

Catamarans and Trimarans

Catamaran and Trimaran Boat Plans make it a reality to build your own catamaran or trimaran. Multi-hulled sailing vessels are a special class of boat. A very different mind set is required when thinking about sailing a multi hull, let alone getting your head around building one.

There are some unique challenges building a multi-hull sail boat, the extra beam added by each hull for instance can create storage issues while under construction. Hartley boat plans make the build process straight forward for even amateur builders. However with all things considered, building a multi can be an amazing journey.

 Eagle 4.6 Power Trimaran

Look no further!

The Eagle 4.6 is a sleek, fast powerboat which is very practical for a wide range of activities, yet performs well with only a small engine. The Trimaran (3 hulls) platform provides incredible stability, low drag for better speed and economy, and a very smooth ride.

An open main hull with bench seating provides all the practicality of other small boats and can carry 3 people comfortably. The boat is ideal for fishing, or longer day trips out to your favourite island or beach.

A very slender hull with a deep vee bottom provides low drag with a smooth ride through waves. The semi-displacement hulls allow relatively high speeds without the huge amount of engine power to make a boat get up onto the plane.

Watertight compartments in all three hulls make the boat very safe, even in rough conditions.

Construction is from plywood using the 'stitch and glue' method, which is easy enough for amatuer builders, and relatively cheap. It also results in a very light and low maintenance boat.

Plans will be available very soon, and I will also have more data available on fuel economy and speed once more testing is complete. Currently the boat can achieve a top speed of 13 knots with an 8hp outboard motor. 11.8 knots was achieved with 2 people aboard, and just under 10 knots with 3 people aboard.

32m Power Trimaran

Go anywhere, anytime..

The Shuttleworth 32M redefines long distance voyaging yachts of this size range. Her rugged 'explorer' style exterior maximises interior volume to provide spacious and comfortable accommodation whilst still maintaining unrivalled seakeeping, stability, and efficiency.

Powered by a single 1150hp C18 caterpillar engine with an additional 110hp engine in each outrigger for manoeuvring and back up propulsion, she has a top speed of 26 knots and a range at 12 knots in excess of 6,000nm.

Using state of the art composite engineering we have achieved the light weight structure required for exceptional fuel efficiency and performance, as well as the strength and rigidity suitable for heavy weather ocean capability. Ocean voyages can be undertaken with confidence, at high speed and in comfort, allowing you to go anywhere, anytime.

  • 6,000nm range at 12 knots
  • 26 knots top speed
  • Exceptional seakeeping and stability
  • Unrivalled fuel efficiency
  • Spacious accommodation

Award Winning Design

Adastra covered more than 60,000 miles during her first 7 years at sea and has proven herself to be a very comfortable and exceptionally fuel efficient ocean going vessel. She can cruise at 17 to 20 knots in most conditions, and has weathered 50 knot winds and seas up to 4 metres. She is incredibly stable and comfortable at rest and rolling is virtually eliminated by the outriggers.

To find out more about the award winning naval architecture used in these designs read the article "Adastra - The search for a seakindly fuel efficient vessel". Read more.

Accommodation Layouts

The layout of the Shuttleworth 32M has been designed to optimise ease of operation and maintenance allowing the vessel to be cruised by the owners alone or with a minimum crew. Engines, generators and other systems are installed for ease of access and ample workshop space is provided. Dinghys and toys have launching and retrieval systems that are reliable, simple and quick to use. The living space, which has been carefully considered to make the vessel comfortable to live aboard for long periods of time is open plan but practical as it can be compartmenatilsed when required. Massive storage space is provided in the wings for supplies, spares and emergency gear.

The flybridge has a large shaded seating area surounded by low coamings to allow for expansive views, as well as a BBQ and helm station. When the tender is launched the aft deck provides a spacious area for sun loungers.

The D49

The main deck houses the saloon, dining area, kitchen, breakfast bar, helm station and chart table with forward viewing seats. To increase visibility at night the helm station can be separated from the main living area with a retractable screen. Stairs through the forward windscreen lead to a teak covered foredeck with movable deck chairs and a sun bathing area which can be covered by an awning. The aft deck has a rope handling bench and storage space for kayaks as well as a seating area, BBQ and lazarette. Steps onto the wings lead to teak covered side decks, large storage lockers on the wings and steps that access the outriggers, both of which house engines and generators.

Power Trimarans?

Discussion in ' Powerboats ' started by CatBuilder , Jul 23, 2009 .

You don't see so many power trimarans. Does anyone know of some example power trimarans that are either: a) Built to plane with more efficiency or... b) Built as extremely efficient trawlers If there are none that fit these descriptions, what is it about trimarans that prevent one from making them behaving something like a power cat? Also, in the same general theme, can anyone describe the differences between a power trimaran and a very narrow beam long waterline monohull? Could the long waterline narrow beam mono be used as an efficient trawler? Sorry... I'm new to power boats and new to the area of designing boats. I come from a background of sailing monos and cats.

Thanks, Richard. I was already a fan of that one. I feel a conversion coming on and have found more than enough reading in the long skinny boat threads on here. I'll just keep on doing the reading until I can ask some better questions.

Once again the real question is the actual USE the boat will be called on to perform. For someone wishing to do a FAST efficient long cruise the skinny monohull, with or without "training wheels (tri) would be first choice. BUT as a living , entertaining platform, mere area is a plus , so a big box cat, regardless of the efficiency or deep ocean hassles is usually selected. Mental ************ is great fun , but a boat to be USED , needs to know realistically, HOW it will be used. FF  
Thanks, Fast Fred. I saw all of your posts in the narrow boat thread. I'm looking to use the boat coastal (near shore) only. I'm also using it as a liveaboard/coastal cruiser for two people. If I might make a comparison to RVs, I would be looking for a Road Trek RV instead of a Class A motorhome. (Road Trek is a van all tricked out to be an RV. Not much space, but fits anywhere, great on gas, etc...) FAST FRED said: ↑ Once again the real question is the actual USE the boat will be called on to perform.

Hi CatBuilder, Looking at the ideas you started off with at the top of the thread: "a) Built to plane with more efficiency" Well, there have certainly been some interesting trimaran-like power boats that do "plane", in a manner of speaking. There are those "gull wing" or "cathedral" hulls you see on some '60s and '70s bowriders, and which survives, in spirit, in today's Boston Whalers. But there's a strong argument that the shape is just a deep-V with a really huge reverse chine, not a trimaran. Also on the radar would be larger surface-effect craft (M-ship, etc.) although these aren't "planing" hulls in the sense we normally think of. Really, though, the power trimaran's advantages- notably its low drag and its ability to slice through waves without much of a fuss- are largely a function of the fact that its main hull is much longer and narrower than a monohull boat of the same weight. That long, narrow shape isn't really conducive to the low bottom loading and flat running surface that leads to efficient planing. And once on plane, dynamic forces take over that would likely relegate trimaran outriggers to a role somewhere between "questionable" and "redundant". (Of course, this is talking about something that actually looks like a trimaran, 3-point hydros are a different matter). And the next idea, "b) Built as extremely efficient trawlers" Well, as Fred has pointed out, we really need to take a close look at how the boat will be used. When we're looking at powerboats, we don't need the enormous initial stability that is so desirable in a sailboat. Thus, the sailor's main rationale for having outriggers is missing from the powerboat realm. So, we need to consider what other characteristics would lead us to a tri-hull configuration for a power yacht. Perhaps we want a long, narrow hull for efficiency and to slice through waves without pounding. We want a decent turn of speed, substantially more than most monohulls can do with a given engine and fuel burn rate. And let's say we also want a fair chunk of deck space, with easy access to the water, places to dump kayaks and water toys, etc. A tri configuration might start to look appealing here. The price that is paid is a more complex structure- an extra two hulls, plus crossbeams- and a package that, unless it folds somehow, will cost you dearly if you need to rent slip space. Now, if we don't intend to be goosing the throttle to well past the so-called "hull speed", and the huge trampoline/side deck area of a tri isn't a "must have" feature, and a roomy interior is more of a concern- perhaps sticking with a single hull makes more sense. But what it really comes down to is this: What characteristics do you need for the way you plan to use the boat? (As an aside, I've been going through the power tri vs. planing mono debate myself over the last few months, albeit for a somewhat different use profile- " http://www.boatdesign.net/forums/projects-proposals/trailer-cruiser-revisited-trimaran-27032.html ." The tri's lower power requirements, resulting longer range, and huge usable side-deck area were the deciding factors there. But, ultimately, you have to weigh the trade-offs for your own project.)  
Thanks, Marshmat. The more I've been reading, the more I've realized "planing" was the incorrect word. Also, the more I read the more I realize that yes... why does this have to be a trimaran? Coming from the sailing world, my gut (not math) tells me that I need a lot of lateral stability. I'm very weak in understanding powering stability for trawler-like displacement hulls. So could a 40 foot power boat with a 7 foot beam be built in such a way as to be stable at sea? I'm not sure if that hull form (with a sharp, plumb bow) would even qualify as something you could use as the center of a tri as it might be too beamy? Would that type of hull make sense as a mono rather than a tri? Lastly, although I have no end to my questions in sight, I'd like to answer the ones you asked about usage. You were very close!: 1) I'm looking at long, slender boats for efficiency. Speed (to someone coming from sailing) is 8 knots. 10 knots would be incredible! Most of all, I'd like to be able to use low horsepower to achieve fuel efficiency by reaching 8 knots using the minimum of fuel consumption. 2) I'm presently sailing a catamaran. I sure love the catamaran, but it's an enormous build cost and complexity as a build project. I've refit enough boats to understand what it takes to build an interior and put together systems. However, I absolutely love the initial stability of a catamaran over a mono due to its beam. This is comfortable while underway but even more comfortable at anchor, which is where a boat I come up with will be 90+% of the time. I am another idiot who is thinking about a mono with "training wheels" rather than a real trimaran, I think. I see "trimaran" as a way to take a mono and get the stability of a cat. Am I far off? 3) I'd like to design the boat to be able to cross oceans at 8 knots, but the main requirement is size for portability, access to EU canal systems, etc... If I could develop a boat that could both be an ocean crosser *and* a narrow boat of 40 foot length and 7 foot beam, that is what I'm after, ultimately. 4) Lastly, as an add on, I'd sure like to have a kite sail to fly to save on power when going downwind in conditions that warrant it. Those are the intended uses. Coastal cruising a must, ocean crossing a "nice to have." If I can achieve both, great! If it's just a mono, great! I'm a complete design novice, but a very experienced sailor/liveaboard. I know exactly what I *need* out here, but I don't know if it's commercially available, if the hull or a design is available, or if I should design it myself, which I am strongly considering. I was to build a cat, but my wife had a change of heart, so I will follow her change of heart and come up with a boat that fits those above criteria. Any help or advice would be welcome. Also, my screen name doesn't fit my situation! ha ha marshmat said: ↑ Hi CatBuilder, Looking at the ideas you started off with at the top of the thread: "a) Built to plane with more efficiency" Well, there have certainly been some interesting trimaran-like power boats that do "plane", in a manner of speaking.
