Small Trimarans

Lock Crowther’s Buccaneer 24 trimaran is a vintage design that still holds its own among contemporary small tri models. This is especially true when it comes to performance.

I first mentioned the Buccaneer 24 trimaran a while back. But this post comes to us from contributor Patrick McGrath, who knew Lock Crowther, served as a Canadian representative for his designs, and personally built 2 Buccaneer 24 models, which included one for himself. (more…)

Contributor Michael Waters sent me these pictures of Lock Crowther’s Buccaneer 24 Trimaran model. Mike has told me before that he thinks this particular design was an exceptional one for its time … although today it could benefit from minor updates.

The photos below display a boat that appears to have been built according to Crowther’s plans. (more…)
