Hello Everyone,
When I was in high school (about 15 years ago), I lived near a lake, and one summer I learned to sail a tiny trimaran that I'm now looking for any information about. (I had to get rid of it when we moved 5 years ago, because there was no room for it.) But now my circumstances have changed, and I'd love to find one just like it:
It was no more than 8 to 10 feet long, and about 7 feet wide, very heavy, dark blue with a white top, made of fiberglass. The middle hull looked and felt just like you were sitting in a bathtub. The two side hulls were connected to the middle one by a solid, flat deck that you could sit on. The boat's controls were just a metal rudder/tiller, and a lateen Sunfish-style sail. It didn't have a daggerboard, if I remember right.
It was old - I only paid $250 for it - but it was fast, and never once felt like it would tip over. It was a perfect beginner's sailboat, and I had a lot of fun with it.
I've already searched the internet and google images, but haven't found a small trimaran that comes close to this. It wasn't anything like a "Windrider" -I already checked their website. I suspect that the kind I used to have is no longer in production. I don't have any pictures to post, but if this sounds familiar to anyone, I'd appreciate any information you could give me (brand, model, manufacturer, etc.) so I could start searching for a used one.
Thank You!
