Description
17\' Ultralight Drysail Trimaran Sailboat
\"Malabar\" is the third boat built in a series of custom-made ultralight sport trimaran sailboats. Instead of using heavy fiberglass, the designer chose instead to use mahogany, reinforced at strategic areas with fiberglass, resulting in a significant weight savings. Each hull is compartmentalized, ensuring that if there is a breach, the boat will remain afloat. Because of its light weight and construction, this trimaran is intended to be dry sailed (stored on land as opposed to in the water) and includes a beach dolly (no special equipment needed to launch / retrieve). Unlike larger boats, this trimaran can easily be brought up on a beach.
In order to maximize aerodynamics, the mast pivots, and the centerboard can be lowered or raised. The boat can easily hold its own against a Hobie catamaran and overtakes Laser I, II, Bytes and most other single hull sailboats with ease. Malabar is an absolute thrill to sail. Although the boat is 17\' long by 13.5\' wide, and includes both a mainsail and jib, the layout is such that it only needs one person to sail. Instead of sitting close to the hull, the skipper has the luxury of a sliding seat (one on either side) located on the rear support which moves from the center hull to the outer pontoon. A telescoping tiller means the sailor will always be comfortable.
