Is a Dragonfly 25, folding tri. Picture is sistership, non folding version:



She's going to undergo a nice makeover this winter. First things first. Even folded it is over 10 feet wide.....It was an interesting ride home. (Early on a Sunday morning.....shhhhh!)



The floats attach with one pin per beam. I am working on a system to disconnect them and tuck them under to get to 8'6" Full size mockup in new location....



As you can tell form the profile there is not a lot of interior space....



But, this one is about FUN. The 42 had 750 square feet of sail on a 26 thousand pound boat.... this can fly up to 500 on a 26 hundred pound boat..... need a calculator? They can do 18 knots......

Great design!

And I remember seeing a video of a big trimaran pulling waterskiers with a rock music accompaniment.
