    Sixties vintage in Newport, Rhode Island. You really get a sense of power when they tack!!!

    The tri's look like a blast!

    Cool boat - I love multihulls, but have only sailed Hobie Cats before and the biggest was about 16ft. That trimaran sure looks like fun!

    I have a NACRA 6.0 so nothing like flying a Tri, but man is that exhilarating to have a hull way up in the air and flying along the crests...

    It shure is a blast ! Flying with just one hull in water is heart stopping, and I loved seeing the faces of motorboaters when a sailingboat passed them at 30+ knots :D

    And ofcourse the pure technical level of the boat (the hull is completely CF and the rest very high tech materials) was amazing !

    Some technical facts about it: Length 60ft, width 59ft, mast height 94ft, draft 16 ft, sail area 440m2 (4700ft2) weight 5200kg (11500lb)

    And here's 2 more pics
