[quote=catfever]Thank Erice,
I have done many of those calculations actually using the 60' ORMA tri's. But should look at the smaller trimarans. The problem, I think, with using the cruising/racing tri's is that there main hulls have a much larger hull volume due to accomodations etc. With 2-17' ama's and a centre hull of 25' there is no doubt in my mind it will be highly bouyant. I am more so wondering about boat balance bow to stern and how I would calculate the COG on the boat without a rig and sail plan yet?? Thanks to all of you for all the help, I can definitely use as many minds as possible! My goal is a tri with a weight of under 600lbs, a sail plan of 350-400sqft on main and jib plus a roller furling genoa and a bowsprit asym. I figure this boat can push the 30kt mark fairly easily.
Lets make it happen![/quote]
