Sailor and self-boatbuilder Bob Trygg notified me last week that he is selling his beautiful (and still practically new) Seaclipper 16 trimaran named TRINKET. He wants to sell this beauty to someone who’ll enjoy her so that he can move on to another boat project.

We first saw Bob’s Seaclipper 16 Trimaran in this post here at smalltrimarans. The official ad for TRINKET is appearing in the classifieds at Duckworks Magazine. Here is how the listing there reads: (more…)

Here is a beautiful Seaclipper 16 trimaran. This new boat is the creation of sailor/self-boatbuilder Bob Trygg and his workmanship is on full display. (As you’ll see in the post below, this isn’t the first boat Bob has built).

What is so impressive are the little details … which are especially obvious in the video (below). Seeing this boat will definitely inspire some guys to build their own. (more…)

A New Seaclipper 16 trimaran is sailing in Texas. Today, we hear from homebuilder/sailor Barney G. as he shares his experience with the building process and how his first sea trial went.

He also came up with a great idea to offset the weight of the Seaclipper 16 amas on the hinged folding crossbeams. As he notes in the closing, he’ll probably build some swing-wing akas this coming winter. But for now, it’s Spring/Summertime sailing! (more…)

In my previous Seaclipper 16 Trimaran post, we discovered sailor Gerry Lavoie’s new sailboat. Gerry has published his own Seaclipper 16 blog, which covers this project, and also discusses its launch this past Spring. I hope he continues to update it because the writing is very good and also includes a nice, personal touch. (more…)

Sailor (and home boatbuilder) Gerry L. launched a John Marples’ designed Seaclipper 16 trimaran this past Spring in Canada. I’ve always thought about this boat as being sort of a “wooden, homebuilt alternative” to the commercial Windrider 17 trimaran. (more…)

Sailors with disabilities love sports and recreation as much as anybody. But I never thought about how a trimaran can be such an ideal watercraft … one uniquely qualified to assist disabled sailors.

Disabled sailors are using trimarans (in increasing numbers) to enjoy fast sailing, participate in multihull sailing competitions and have just plain ole’ good fun. Ted Dexter, of Duck Flat Wooden Boats in Australia, opened my eyes to this benefit, which is offered by certain trimarans. (more…)
