Trillo

Designed by Paolo Lodigiani and Matteo Costa

A small cruising trimaran is one of the harder things to draw for an amateur builder, and Lodigiani treats it as the interesting problem it is. There are two more hulls and the beams to design, and the beams have to come apart quickly for trailering and fold in to cut the width at a mooring. Every usual design tension is sharpened: performance against comfort in less space than a monohull offers, lightness against structural strength, and the safety questions that come with all of it.

A 7.50 m cruising trimaran, which is a hard thing to draw for an amateur builder because the type is complicated before you start. Main hull in strip planking or chined plywood, and an expert build either way.

What building a Trillo actually takes

Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
