This is a simple dory styled trimaran that was built it a weekend by a team of people as part of a tv documentary. I think they did a very, very good job, pretty impressive. I would now describe the hullshape as a flatner type as opposed to dory.

I first came aware of this boat via a post in the yahoo group mulithull_boat_builder. The link to the original website no longer works, so where the site is now is anyone's guess. Maybe ask a question on the yahoo group in question? From a technical point of view I guess if the main hull was a little deeper and narrower that would increase it's stength and improve it's speed, but I think I am getting a little picky. Notice the low volume outriggers. 200% volume outriggers are nice, but for a microcruiser which is to be conservatively sailed and with a small low sailplan, the advantages in lower weights and lower stresses would seem to outweigh larger outriggers found on conventional trimarans. This is in my view the main distinction between a double outrigger canoe and a conventional trimaran. Low volume outriggers are not new, please refer to the 'Banka' outrigger of the Phillipines and Indonesia.
