Rapid-Construction Multihulls

40' Cruising Trimaran

40' cruising trimaran in developed plywood.
This 40' cruising trimaran continues a long tradition of trimarans with this classical interior layout.  As you see below, berths on the winds port and starboard, galley on both sides aft in the cabin, and sitting forward in the main cabin.  A head and another berth forward of that.  

The old classics didn't benefit from the modern design and engineering that this model has.  This offering has far better turns of speed, ride and handling than the classics did.

Construction is the very rapid CM with plywood/epoxy.
