Able to be used as a canoe when checking out the local mangroves, then sailed too. Incidentally, that’s a sprit rig. A lug has the sprit attached along the head of the sail like a gaff.

congratulations to your beautiful new boat and your craftmanship. I´m pretty sure the people at bateau had never imagined, what could be done with their ¨cheap canoe¨. Well, i also live in Florianopolis and i´m building a modified Gary Dierking canoe right now. So it would be nice to meet you in person one of these days to exchange ideas. Please give me a call at 3209-1269 or 9615-0098 .
Um abraço
Wolfgang

Parabéns pelo trimarã!!!

I have built my own 13′ tri complete stip build and enjoy sailing it, still playing with different sail and outriggers for different conditions.
