  • Patent number: 5904111
    Abstract: An improved trimaran is provided. The trimaran includes a main section, multiple floats, a sail assembly and a set of beams that are used to removably position the floats a certain distance from the main section. The center section includes a centerboard or daggerboard assembly, steering assembly, cockpit area, bulkhead areas and mast receiving area. The controls for the centerboard assembly and steering assembly are centrally located in the front portion of the cockpit area and the cockpit area is positioned between the bulkhead areas. The trimaran is designed to have a car-like steering configuration and in one embodiment interchangeable beams to vary the width of the trimaran, depending on whether the user wishes to sail the trimaran or transport it to another location by for example, loading it on a trailer. In another embodiment having removable beams, the beams have adjustable settings so that the height of the floats relative to the center section can be varied.
