Strike 18

The 18ft STRIKE is a new trimaran design that uses a beach cat as the outriggers/amas and rig. The cabin top is removable to convert the simple pocket cruiser that sleeps 2 into a fast day sailing boat that sits 6 in dry comfort.

The outrigger hulls fold up for transport

Very easy to build with a stitch and glue hard chine hull and flat panel ply decks.
