... No, not mistakenly, as although the F-22 beams cannot be self built, for various reasons, they are still far quicker to build than the old wood beams as...
I own a TT720 but had the chance to race on the only(I believe) Corsair 43 last weekend. Really cool, fast boat. We were slower in the light stuff but fast in...
Something else to consider is that the F82, and possibly other current designes, can be built in strip plank. If your problem is with foam then that gives you...
... No - it was designed and built by someone (I forget the name) at TPI for his father as a personal project there. Corsair (whose owner had acquired TPI)...
Guys, I know this was mentioned earlier (by Damian I think) but the most up to date plywood trimaran I know of is the Wavelength 780. Designed here in OZ there...
Wasn't me (since my name was mentioned). Don't know anything about it. I don't understand the advantage of vertical ply panels over foam or strip for that...
Hi Tony Did you ever complete the document of the restoration. Would be great to have a copy if completed. Did you have a sail dimension for the genoa and a...
I ran into the following on another group tonight and I think it says a lot about boat building: "Whilst on my poor knees the other day, drilling away on the...
Sorry for the post on catamaran vs tris but I am hoping somebody in this group can redirect me to information on the kits produced by Don Karmin in the early...
There is a Danish Designer who has designed a lovely trimaran in Cedar strip plank and all sheathing is transparent ( perhaps S glass was used) this...
I found the photos of the Wavelength 780, wonder if they used bending plywood.? The finish looks excellent. anyone have more info? ... From: damian...
A very pretty design. Any info on the designer and study plans? Nothing comes up on Google search. Does it sail as well as it looks? Why in the world did he...
... Designer is a guy called Bob Forster. He's one of the guys instrumental in looking after the OMR rule at the Multihull Yacht Club Queensland. Yes plans...
I would be interested in checking his boats out. If you use 6oz or lighter fiberglass and something like the west system special clear epoxy that the glass...
I would expect most people on this group do not object to this somewhat off topic discussion. TT's is fairly low volume and you are discussing trailerable tris...
re; Vertical ply Wavelength design this would be an appropriate build in the Philippines with plywood at lower prices. Anyone know how to contact Wavelength?...
I am now in the Philippines, and the Plywood I have seen here is not fit to make anything with!! It just falls to pieces. Maybe I am not looking in the right...
Grahame, Sorry for the delay, just read your message. Found the original genoa bumping around in the previous owner's shed! Tried it last week and it looks...

Whaddya plan to build? as I ad some factories in China who would make 100% paulownia plywood any thickness lighter than, and as strong as cedar somewhat...
What quantities do you need to buy to get that ? I'd love to get some paulownia ply provided it was marine grade boil proof and void free. Nice faces would be...
In spring 2008 I repaired some bad wood in the port fwd beam well. I just uploaded photos of that activity. Now I have begun digging into the bad wood on the...
I found that on my TT 720 the drain holes were useless as they blocked with debris and old paint. The rain water used to pool in those recesses, and the only...
Hello, Â I would suggest that when beam recess is rebuilt that you make new beam mounts without the drain holes as they cause more problems with water...
Excellent suggestions for keeping the beam well dryer. I was thinking exactly along the lines of what George suggested. It's good to hear about it from...
I modified my rudder a while back. It really works great. It took a long time to post anything about it. I've uploaded pics to my folder. The folder is...
