The Trimaran’s acceleration is spectacular; the boat can go from stopped to full speed in a matter of seconds. Once the sails fill with air, there is very little resistance from the hulls, so the boat picks up speed almost instantly. Every design innovation has been perfected to make the T50 Tri almost impossible to capsize. Even in sharp squalls with winds topping 20 miles per hour, this sailboat has not flipped. The T50 Tri is made with a very light 1/16-inch plywood construction. These highly developed hulls are able to reach extremely fast speeds. The lightness of the plywood allows us to create compound curves in the hull shapes. This model utilizes three very light bulkheads to form the shape of the hulls and t
