Can’t buy the plans anymore. But the W17 plans or kit sold by Cheasapeake Light Craft is somewhat similar but smaller clcboats.com/shop/boats/other-designs/W17-Trimaran-Kit.html.

Im Confused as to what a DS2 actually is. Im setting mine up to organize the tight cuddy w/a stern teak swim platform inverted to act as a small table and to store gas and water underneath. A cockpit tent seems to be needed. The bow got a round hatch w/ bag insert to act as a anchor locker in calm conditions and I packed to foam in to leave a internal shelf surrounded by foam board for access from the inside inspection port also.

@@johncole3010 it’s a very common American Daysailer designed by Uffa Fox and George O’Day. Mine is a 1979. This is the model 2 which was an “improvement” on the DS1. It’s the most common of the models. There’s a DS3 too now. Would love to see yours. Sounds intriguing. Feel free to message me. She’s put away for the winter, but cabin is all done and boat is painted other than the hull.

Hi Eric I finally got amas built for my snark. It looks like the two beams are set at the same height so that the amas are parallel to the main hull. Is this correct or do the amas have a slight height advantage forward as compared to aft? Thanks and regards Glen

@ericdahlkamp6781 5 ай бұрын
@@GlenWatson-os9ri I just put mine where they fit since I wasn’t able to find other materials. I never had a real problem with the forward being lower, although would have been better higher. Worked out well for sheeting jib having aka below the wood like that. Plus easier to stand/sit on when necessary. Just get the angle of your ama waterline where you want it. I did extend my AMAs after this was taken by 2’. Another video shows that. Mine were a little underboyant for the winds I liked sailing in. Cheers.

Hi Eric Seeing some inspiring ideas in your video. Thank you for sharing. Wondering how you setup for sleeping aboard? Today I went to pick up a Fiberglass canoe shell, has only a few easy fix cracks. It’s 18’ long, 41” at the beam and 18” deep with a keel. Paid $100 to get it out of their yard. I’m thinking trimaran too. Would you build your differently if you wanted to de over? Steve (68yrs) Manitoba
@ericdahlkamp6781
@ericdahlkamp6781 7 ай бұрын
I actually didn’t ever try sleeping on board. Could lay down but carried too much gear on my week-long ventures so would have to remove first to make room. Found sleeping in a two-man tent much more comfortable, dry and bug proof. As to building differently, don’t think so. This was a foam Snark originally so I went with foam and ply to trim her out to the trimaran you see.

It’s Norman Cross 18. There were plans until he passed and a while after. His wife sold the rights to a fellow who made a very nice job of marketing them for a time. The identify thieves crushed that arrangement and he went completely dark. Can’t buy them now. I haven’t followed up to see if he’s resurfaced. But, I would suggest you look seriously at the W17 trimaran by Mike Waters marketed as plans and kit through Cheasapeake Light Craft. Ostensibly the same boat, perhaps better. clcboats.com/shop/boats/other-designs/W17-Trimaran-Kit.html.
