20' Trimaran

A very high performance two-place  trimaran.
This trimaran was first developed for the Worrell 1000 race.  The idea was to give the crew a more comfortable ride than the usual perch hiked out on the high side of a beach cat.  The very wide overall beam gives it a nearly equal righting moment to the cat. Unlike on the cat, the crew can be rested and focused during the long, wet race.  The original model was a developed plywood and core materials construction fusion.  The plans presently are for both the developed plywood/core fusion and completely composite. The composite model may be in production soon.  

The boards and rudders are out on the amas.  The original boat had a high aspect ratio pivoting centerboard.  That kept it out of conflict with the crew seats, but caused too much drag.

This is a demountable design. The black and white picture is the original unit #1.
