[quote=erice][quote=catfever]I am thinking the beams will be between 14-16' wide. I figure I can go a little narrower because the boat will have double trapeze. [/quote]
the seat of the pants engineer in me is concerned about double trapping off a trimaran
has anyone ever done it before?
it may be possible if the floats are as long or longer than the main hull but my experience sailing the weta tri is that short floats are the limit on trimarans. they bury pretty quickly and abruptly and i wouldn't want to be out on trapeze when it happened
the whole idea of a wide tri over a narrow cat is that you get the same righting moment by sitting on the beam of a tri as you do on thw wire of a cat[/quote]
