These pages describe building, sailing and refitting my trimaran sailboat made from a 17 foot Grumman Aluminum canoe. It's a great boat! Car top-able, very fast, able to be carried to the water and rigged by one person, and fun to sail.
Specifications:
Length: 18'-0" Beam: 13'-10" Sail: Approx. 200 sq ft with jib Weight: 320 lbs (same as a Hobie 16) Center hull: Aluminum canoe Amas: Stitch and glue Mahagony plywood with epoxy-fiberglass wrap and fillets at seams |
