I am definitely following this! I am concerned with torsional stiffness but hey, should be a good story at least.

Have taken care of that, by use of waterstays to minimize bend in the oversized beams, almost double wall thickness compared to Nacra beams. More info in my FB-group in the signature below.
Todays work in the image, cockpit floor tomorrow.

What's the objective, more speed? With a bigger sail or under stronger winds?
Or is it more about the process than the end result? -

It is to get an all together bigger, more seaworthy boat, 5.8x4.8m. Larger rig and a lot more RM. Large enough to carry a small outborder when doing longer trips. No need for trapeze for the old man. Should be a little slower at light wind, equal when sailing with the center hull just lifting and capable of higher winds. Rudders on amas and daggerboard on center hull.
Time will tell......

A 250kg convertible

Question is what to build with the remaining 5.8 hull and the F18 rig?
