How about a GhostTrain Cat

[stuka]

I have been looking for an ez to build and transport multihull design for awhile and came across this Trimaran called the Ghost Train. It seems to be the only one available for download free of charge.

Although lacking in full construction details, I think it's sufficient for building as you can always print it full scale and cut out the patterns as templates.

Here a section of the hull plan.

This is a mini40 design, meaning the main hull is 40" long i.e. marginally longer than 1m.

I will probably build a catamaran with 2 main hulls for the start. It's easier to setup and transport. Anyone want to try?

Here's a shot video to entice you...

That is really a nice boat of unit design ..... Have not come across it in any LHS yet.

[stuka]

That's right...really wana to do this project after Wee Nip. I m studying the plan at the moment and doing some research on multihull...heard it's easy to go belly-up if not careful.

Sometime ago saw a guy sailing one at bedok reservoir, his is really huge...

[stuka]

Yeah...how i wish to have 72 hours a day.....then 10 hours for work, 2 hours for meals, 30 minutes bath time, 30 minutes baking in toilet, 3 hours for love ones, and the rest for building/flying/sailing....

BTW...here's a good write-up on how to sail a multihulls..tricky business man..

This is the discontinued Robbe Topcat with a weighted keel for better stability....not a bad idea, tho in the expense of speed.
