History Lesson

When we did the Trikini 6.47 performance was not a telling issue. With 4 berths, a diesel inboard and 6 ft of headroom it was equal to a 30′ monohull but not a fast boat

We had a stripped out prototype that we sailed that was faster, but with the memory of the TRIKINI D it just was slow. When we used the Main hull as part of the Catfisher 34, we had a set of OR. CA and mast and rigging.

We designed a more performance oriented vessel the Trikini 7.92 ; and did a really good mold for it, built one hull and were working on the deck plug when the business sort of collapsed and the project died. The mold was transported to Hernando County and developments there lead to it’s destruction in 1986.
