Has anyone thought about converting a Macgregor 25 sail boat to a Tri hull.
Convert monohull to trimaran. Sailing our MacGregor trimaran conversion out to Anclote Key in Tarpon Springs. There are so many things that can go wrong structurally speaking. I wonder if you could buy a old Hobie 16 or Hobie 18 and modify the Macgregor to attach the Hobie hulls to each side.
Solandge the 85 metre Lurssen from 2013 has a gross tonnage of 2899. Take the keel off lighten the hull strengthen the shell change the mast position and height fix outriggers on to monhull with something a lot stronger than the glue that keeps tiles from falling off NASA space rockets. It really does pay to do a multihull sailing conversion course before taking a cat out as you can learn what to watch for.
Monohull to trimaran Hi Tom I was just searching for the same issue. Converting monohull into trimaran. Trimarans the best of the three.
And what to consider. The reason I am thinking of this is that I have a old 1972 Venture a Macgregor in. Removable for trailering would be nice.
Converting a Monohull to a Trimaran. Go buy a trimaran for 20k. The general structure is not laid out to accomodate.
You wont self-right unlike a monohull. Im at the moment checking out that posibility. White Rabbit carries 2940 gross tonnes so roughly the same as a 90 metre monohullSunrays the 85 metre 2010 Oceanco has an internal volume of 2867GT.
