An XCR Vaka Hull Launched in Michigan

Checking-in with Ben Algera as he builds a boat for a future Watertribe event

 P9100011

 

With the main hull now successfully launched and then paddled briefly with his wife and kids, Ben has taken the first important step towards the completion of his XCR.

Sailing and paddling trips await Ben with this boat as it can seemlessly morph from a straight-up decked tripping canoe to a very nice sailing trimaran in minutes.

 

There are all sorts of photos of Ben’s build progress at his Blog site.  http://www.bensboats.blogspot.com/ 

Take a few moments to scan through his entries and you can see for yourself how easy it is to build an XCR of your own.

Hi Olli,

I would like to see the pictures of your trimaran in Finland. Please send the photos to my email address: Chris@Wedgesail.com

Please do not worry about your English. I can understand what you want to say and it is a lot better than my knowledge of Finnish, believe me.
