Economy Multihull Cruisers

Simple Demountable 30' Trimaran

A simple, trailerable cruising trimaran in developed plywood. 
 

This simple, trailerable cruising trimaran is the quickest, most direct way to get 31' of high performance trimaran waterline that I know of.  Notice from the arrangments below that the construction is as simple as it gets. It has no fluff anywhere. It uses the rapid CM construction.

The proven tube and wire connectives are much lighter than folding connectives, at a lot less cost. The tri can be built with sliding connective tubes to easily get narrower for the marina. It has a rotating extrusion mast.
