Apart from the personal attacks, I think this thread has some technical merit.
I'm no expert, but doesn't a trimaran mostly operate with a planing center hull and a forced displacement outrigger at the same time? If so, that would seem to complicate matters...
I must say, this is all quite mind-boggling... 42 is looking better and better all the time, I need to enlarge my hatches so I can take my towel along when sailing. One never can tell...
I have really appreciated any sensible criticism or feedback as I have discovered several threads of thought that will help, a man who reports he was happy sailing a beach cat at 25 knots, the fact that very credible modern designs do not and while my efforts might not mean much they are efforts I appreciate help with. I want to be clear I am not trying to create a buoy racing cat. I just want to successfully, without huge changes make my old hard chined cat do 25 knots. I have however had interesting side results such as not losing much overall speed in any area and that the boat is well faster and much easier to helm solo than My old Nacra 14sq. So much so I sold the Nacra as it was not worth pulling the sail up on what with the TS being lighter on the beach as well.
As to where I sail in the Bay. Anywhere but mostly Te Rawhiti way. You must have seen the Te Puna inlet which is a fabulous low chop high wind area.
By the way, to the swallow guys as the bird which flew out in front of my car yesterday, taking up residence in the grill, forced mode can reach 75 miles an hour while passing.
