The Trimaran
On the Te Kaihau is room for up to 12 guests for day trips and 4 to 5 guests for overnight trips. Comforts are functional.
The Trimaran has the ability to average between 10 to 15 knots. It affords safe comfortable sailing.
The Gougeon wing mast rig with a roller furling headsall produces maximum drive and minimum drag, for minimum crew effort.
A lightweight reacher/drifter rolls up to set or strike, and is stowed below when not required. She will get along very well without a spinnaker, except for serious racing.
Fourty hp diesel engine gives 9 knots when wind is scarce. Solar panels and wind generatorproduce ample power to minimize motor generating requirements.
The doghouse's comfort and all around view enhances early and late season sailing in northern waters.
Those who know Moxie and Rogue Wave will realize how much this new design owes to those happy classics.
