I have been looking for a suitable plan for a coastal cruising multihull for one or two people with a small camping/sleeping area. I need a boat that is easily demountable for trailering. Your boat looks very close to what I have had in mind. Do you still have it in mind to make the plans available in the near future? Malcolm Chris.

I've built and sail my Jim Michalak Trilars, which is great for local lakes, I'm looking for something a bit more beefy for some additional adventures. Thanks, Tom Chris,

Having a full sized trimaran in the tropics myself, it looks very promising. But living in the Rockys has made it difficult to sail except in a few small lakes. I was curious if the tri could be pre-made instead of having to build it myself, with a busy schedule and no building skills. THANKS! Colby Hey Chris

It appeals to me as a great fun daysailer and a camp/adventure cruiser. Pls advise cost of plans approx and size(thickness) of plywood for hulls. The kick up foils would suit me for skinny water sailing. I live near a large tidal bay. Cheers, George *********************** Hi George, Plans will be $150 USD. The entire woden part of the boat is built with 4 mm marine plywood. Chris Hi Chris,

Will it be built? Are there plans? ************************************ Dave, There aren't any plans for the Solo16 Sport, as of yet. The concept was developed to this point and then, more or less, put on hold. I decided to put it out in front of the public to gain some additional feedback on the potential and factor the commentary into any fresh modifications as needed. If the demand were there, I could put the plans process into action for the boat and have something in a few weeks.

Please answer two questions; 1) what are the dimensions of the floor of the cockpit? 2) will you sell plans to build this boat in plywood? Thanks for your help. Bud W *************************** Hi Bud, Dimensions for the cockpit floor are 24"x 96". The cockpit floor continues on underneath the forward deck for some distance. This allows for the possibility of using the boat as a solo adventure cruiser that has enough space to actually sleep aboard, should it be necessary, or desired. Chris Great idea Chris.

Hi Bud,
