Future Boat II


 I'm  just  musing  out loud here, bare with me. 

Here's the process I've gone through, trying to dig down on a tri worth battling for. 

Types 24 ft tri, and you get these you beaut Farrier and Corsair composite tris built in  part from carbon fibre. Sexy, spacious and fast, but oh so expensive and a real headache to run. One builder actually holed the deck when he lost control of the mast while lowering it. Whoa, No thanks

 Then "plywood tri" will get you a load of rave reviews,about the Crowther Bucchaneer. They're really old now though,and hard to find. I have seem some not so old  Farriers in ply, so it's doable. 

Then I recall the hydrib cat tris.Basically you male a plywood hull and swing a Hobie  rig and hulls off it and go sailing., I have a H14 at home and hanging them from a Hunter 19 unballasted trailer sailer, sounds like something to think over. The kind of buildong I could get excited about
