Howdy everyone,

Here's a link to a Trifoiler on Ebay. The person is selling it with a reserve, so it's unlikely you'll get a super bargain on it.
Trifoiler on ebay

if i had an extra $15,000 lying around, i would snatch that right up! Ive always wanted to sail a trifoiler, how fast have people gone on these to make them the, "fastest production sailboat"?

Some claim 30kts, but I've never seen it. I think you have to have perfect conditions for foiling or it sits in the water and goes slow.

Actually I think it was the Rave that does 30. This one is modeled after a tri-foiler that once held the world speed record...I think the Hobie tri-foiler can do closer to 40.

I'd be curious to see what it sells for. I won't even bother checking to see how much money I have. Not enough. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

You surely DONT want to hit a crab trap or shallows with that!

presumably hobie stopped making them because they didn't sell well enough

and that was because they were just too focused in their needs before they would plane

but as in many ways they are still the ultimate toy for the sailor with everything else i guess it will go for 80% of new price???
