Sailor and small trimaran afficianado Aurelio P. is working to build up a 10 foot trimaran class. With this goal in mind, He has additionally created a whole bunch of renders and pdf docs featuring a new 10 foot trimaran design.
We’ve already seen him working on his own 10 foot boat here and here. And he even set up a website for the 10 foot class here.
These can be seen (and downloaded) below. It is Aurelio’s hope this information will ultimately help sailors build their own boats so they can participate in future regattas.
If anyone wants to build this trimaran they can contact Aurelio and obtain the building plans.
The pics are featured below. The pdf documents are as follows:

Thumbs up for Aurelio ! Also for having Mr. Henseval step into the 10ft class design team.
My question is : do you expect much lift from the hull ? Because the profile shows a deeply submerged transom, which in turn means lots of drag.
Was the carbon fiber hull actually built along the plan lines ? Or is it’s bottom wider? I think the Weta and recent Farrier 22 design concept is unbeatable for a short hull: better have a planing wider hull,skimming the surface, than a narrower one sitting lower into the water and having to force itself through. beam-length ratios in this size range work well only for low-power hulls in my view. 22 cm draft seems a lot for such a small tri.
Hi, I would like to build this boat here in Brisbane Australia. Can you please tell me how I can obtain the plans.
I am told there are a few other 10foot trimarans here in Queensland Australia and I think a new design may prompt some interest and perhaps help to get a few races and group outings happening.
Hope you can help
Cheers
Rob
Hi Rob,
If you can use one of the links in this post to find out how to contact Aurelio then he should be able to get plans to you. I thought there were free plans posted for this model.

I’m looking for a set of plans for a trimaran. I would like more information on whether a trimaran is the best one for me.
Links to lots of building plans (for different trimarans) can be found on this site Mark. You can correspond with their designers to access if the features offered will bring you the particular benefits that are important for you to have in a boat.
