Finishing design and starting to build a new folding trimaran and based on 25-in diameter center pontoon with 6x1.5 cutout for a footwell, deck is 8 ft wide of composite material but just about like a 3/4 sheet of plywood. I've cut a 17 foot sailing catamaran in half so 4 ft struts laying inside a C channel on the deck with pivot pins and hold down bolts. Folding amas will fold up vertically a little past vertical so boat on trailer will be 8.5 ft beam, but 14 ft beam in the water. This idea is a combination of a Tremelino, but with folding amas. Original Tremelino I hope hobie 16 hulls as amas, weather custom fiberglass center hull. Pics soon.
