Uffa 10 Trimaran Now Launched
We’ve been following the building of the Uffa 10 Trimaran in a previous post here … and in a follow up post here. And now we get to see the Uffa’s launch in these new photos.
Sailor and builder, Aurelio P., should be thrilled that it’s now “pay back time” for all the hard work he put into his boat. (Congratulations Aurelio :-)
He shares the following short report with us, in addition to the new photos …
Ciao Joe,
The Uffa 10 trimaran is easy to handle; it perform very well.
The furling jib helps to start and arrive on the beach. In the breeze, the amas work well downwind … in light airs, they’re out of the water ( the boat is like a monohull).
The next step is to fit the boat with a cat rig (put a new mast in the hole on the foredeck) with a 8 sqm main.
– Aurelio

Nice boat! What would be the reasons to move to a Cat rig over the current sail plan, simplicity or class rules perhaps?
