Designed by Jim Brown and John Marples, this is ideal for the home builder. Unique for trimarans are the "swing wing" cross beams (akas) which allow quick/easy folding for trailering or fitting in tight spots--and you don't unrig the mast to do so. Construction is sheet plywood, and for a rig several standard rigs are suggested including a Hobie 16. Plans include 12 pages, plus there's a 37 construction manual.
