This list was started on December 18, 2000. and is a moderated list. It is for discussions relevant to folding trimarans inspired by the original concept created by Ian Farrier. Boats built to his designs by Ian himself, other companies or private individuals are included, as well as boats built to designs based on the concept, such as recent designs from Corsair Marine. Discussions sometimes spill over to topics general to multihulls or other sailing. Topics further afield such as politics or unrelated current events are not what the list is for.
