Modern high performance trailerable trimarans that use the Farrier folding system for road trailering, reducing width in the marina pen and easy access on and off the hard stand.
We are preparing a series of five design articles "Directions in Design" with proposals for a much more modern folding trailable trimaran.
What makes trimarans fast?
Yeah we know already! A stiff breeze and a fearless crew!
Well, that's a big part of it, but there are some fundamentals in the design of the platform and the hull shapes that give trimarans some unique characteristics in performance and sea handling if they are taken into account in the design process.
The article is particularly directed at trailerable trimarans but is relevant to trimarans of all shapes and sizes.
