This is an amateur design/building project of a 6,4m trimaran. The design criteria for this trimaran are based on a Tornado sail rig, to be a “decent” sailing machine with a touch of comfort. Mainly to be used for day trips with the possibility to spend a few days on longer trips with a camping standard of accommodation. 


It should be easily handled on a trailer by one person, as the amas are quickly slided to its sailing position and raising of the rig are done single handed. This also makes the trimaran easy to handle at the dock.


It is a evolutionary project where the vaka (main hull) will be design initially to be used with the Tornado sail rig and amas. When the main hull has been evaluated, new amas with higher displacement will be designed/built.


The main hull will be build with a 10 mm foam core sandwich  laminate and the deck will be made of wooden stips - epoxy laminated as to get a wooden boat feel.
