Small trimaran with Tornado/Nacra 5.8 center hull

Made a sketch with a few versions of the trailer application.
The first one is with the wheels removed from the beach trolley and the two others with the wheels left. The smaller 255mm wheels are paired side by side with some distance between them. The rear swivel is also with double 255´s. One bowguide at each end of the platform will keep the center hull upright.
Quite a few loose ends, will have to do mock up´s.
In the image I am using the trailer vinsch to pretension dyneema splices.

 

After more than a year of house rebuilding, it is finally time to finish the tri after moving back home to Kristinehamn by lake Vänern, western Europe´s largest lake. Living just above my new sailing club, "Kristinehamns Kappseglare" with a reserved tribuilding area just 20m from my house, I will start again in June after an ice cold spring.

 

Hi, Lars
I have just improved my Strike 20 by using Nacra 6.0 hulls instead old Nacra 5.80 .
She Looks nose down at mooring, but looks perfect when sailing
Last week I achieved 15.5 kt mean velocity over 10 s (Velocitek speedpuck doppler measurement) with only Main and jib.
Good sailing !

 

Good choice Patrick!
I guess she needed some more volume in the amas. Nose down looks nice even at the mooring. I still have to wait to see if I have added enough. But mine are easily adjusted if not enough angled. Are the 6.0´s heavier than the 5.8´s?

 

Hi Lars
I think the weight of 6.0 hulls is close to 5.80, and perhaps lighter : they are longer, but slimmer and a little less freeboard. Wen carrying by hands
they looks lighter.
