Hi Chris,

I am interested in learning more about the power-tri you posted on a boat design message board.

http://www.boatdesign.net/forums/multihulls/powered-trimaran-27209.html

I am hoping to build a similar boat for coastal commuting in Maine. My goal is to find a design that can be more efficient on a 50 nm run, then my 4 hour car drive alternative.

Best,
Carl
