Scarab 32 folding trimaran

Here is some preliminary information on my new design to be known as the Scarab 32.
The boat is 32 foot LOA (9.750 metres). 24 feet 3 inch BOA (7.4 metres). It will fold for trailering with an oversize permit or for berthing in a marina.
She will have full standing head room and sleep six althouth it has been designed for a couple. See Accomodation drawing
The main hull has a displacement of 5500 pounds (2500 Kg) and the floats have a total displacement of 3000 kg each. This gives a 120% float displacement.
Auxilliary power will be provided by a 9.9 hp longshaft OB motor mounted in a well accessible from the cockpit. The motor will be able to be tilted to remove the prop from the water and a blanking insert installed to improve water flow when sailing.
The sail area will be 432 sq ft (40 sqm) in the main with 205 sq ft (19 sqm) in the jib. Mast length 44 feet (13.4m).
The plans will be detailed for plywood construction. DXF cutting files will also be available for those builders with access to a CNC machine. Foam sandwich details will also be supplied. The hulls will be built from flat panel shapes similar to the Scarab 18 and 650.

When available the prices will be the same as other designs:
Study plans $15 AUD
Plans $150 AUD
Dxf cutting files $60 AUD
