A interesting concept about living space distribution in a floating home.
It avoids the splitting of the living space in more than one hull by keeping the outriggers low volume structures.
It can handle open ocean waves to a point where comfort on board is little affected.
It conserves the potential of a wide open deckhouse with 360 degree view so apreciated in Catamaran design.
My choice would probably be something that follows roughly the shape , reduced to some 240 square meter living space - full standing height for a 2m man everywhere - no crawl in.
A bigger stern with a good stern terrace feature
Built at a overall cost of 98K in advanced cement composite
Less obsession with a spaceship look more oriented on practical living space.
Cut back on the extreme long and narrow bow to favor living space distribution.
One of the key advantages of a trimaran is, that you can build it with a strong keel that supports the whole structure.
So you can pull it on a beach without further ado and consideration with a strong winch and do repair whatever necessary -
A catamaran design needs a much more delicate approach…due to the torsion forces in play between the two hulls.
The trimaran is much less dependent on shipyard installations . That is a key factor in maintenance cost.
is it a trimaran, a ramform, a classic yacht with a broad stern, a bit of all of them … you name it…
Is that a trimaran ?
Does this buoyancy bump extruding far lateral in the stern area still count as an outrigger ?
WHY yacht | ramform hull | flat bottom | stern terrace concept | flat and broad as a Catamaran | without the hull split that makes living space distribution difficult |
