bulkhead for a stove and sink with an ice box under the stove. The space under the cockpit can be

The Scarab 8.0 will appeal to sailors who are after an economical, easy to build trailable trimaran. The rig is manageable but powerful enough to provide excellent performance for racing and the accommodation is sufficient for cruising for a couple or small family.
