Rapid-Construction Multihulls

43' Cruising Trimaran

43' developed-plywood cruising trimaran.
This 43'  cruising trimaran is an expansion of the 40' trimaran in the video and in the economy section.  By adding a few inches here and there inside, some nice synergistic things happen where the interior spaces become far better.

This design also is wildly fast and easy to handle.  It has  wide overall beam, light weight, and way big amas.  The nets provide mass storage.

It is built with the rapid CM construction.  This is about the least work needed to get a 43' waterline.
