It is not the first time that I hear good things about system three epoxie system. I will certainly look into it as far as price and availability.



At this point, I am looking to get a fairly good local for my project. I decided to go back to school in Naval Acthitecture and my school might give me access to a project room.



I am also trying to start a building club to build kayaks, Catamaran hulls and other stuff. I will contact the local suppliers for marine grade plywood and we have a local manufacturer of marine grade epoxy (East System epoxy).



The boat:



I really considered going for the Tremolino setup. The problem is that I feel that you need amas with as much rocker as the main hull and the Tremoline has way too much rocker for my Nacra 5.7 hulls. Also, I think that the boat will not look very good with the "curvy" Tremolino hull and the straight Nacra hulls



At this point, I looked over tons of trimarans for ideas about the setup.



The Trinado and Thyphoon are very nice. I also looked at the TGull and Tremolino. I really liked the setup but again, the rocker of the hull seems incompatible.



I also looked at Warren Multihull Design and Kurt Hugues and other and I decided to make my own plans.



I will be drawing a new hull based on the Nacra Hull but with a new lenght, beam and Draft. I will also be thinking about arc outriggers and a folding system. My boat will be operating in the St Laurence river in cold water and oceasn like conditions: 6-8feet waves are commom in the middle of the seaway. Since the boat will operate in waves and since I really want to steer clear of any capsize, I want a boat rearly squate with really similar looking hulls and amas



Finally, I will be looking at Stitch'n glue for the construction with the proper reinforcements for the stays and the outriggers.
