This is my 28' trimaran, called 'Monster'. she is based on a Typhoon, a Derek Kelsall design from the early 1980s. The typhoon trimaran was designed to use standard Tornado catamaran huls as floats, and also a standard mast and mainsail from the same catamaran.
I bought this one as an unfinished project, she had been in a barn in Kent for about ten years, and I don't actually know if she was ever finished and launched at any point in her life prior to that. Someone had tried to make as much interior space as possible, by building something very much like a foam sandwich bungalow on the top of a perfectly reasonable hull, hence I had to cut back so far to achieve a boat of sensible proportions.
The project took 22 months and Monster has been sailing this summer, i have just about got 20 knots out of her on a couple of occasions.
The music in this video is 'Daylight fades', written by me back in my school days, and recorded more recently by some friends and I. Decided to use it for this video because I don't really know what else to do with it... enjoy!
