Motive Trimarans 25r, more development in progress

Press release reposted from the Motive Trimarans blog:
Following a successful Annapolis show, and Sailing World Magazine's, Boat Of The Year, judging, development is going very well and the boat continues to impress us, as we fine tune control systems, with the usual small adjustments to block placement, etc. The boat is in for a quick, pit-stop at the shop of A-Cat Worlds contender, Lars Guck, in Bristol, RI, for a few tweaks before heading down to Florida for the winter season.
The wave piercing, low profile hulls are working beautifully as designed, slicing through the water, reducing unwanted windage, and enhancing the experience of being close to the water while moving fast, like a beach cat on steroids! With 250% buoyancy in the outer hulls, we are looking forward to hoisting the screecher and flying the center hull soon.
 
We have also figured out how we can easily raise the water stays, both improving their angle ratio, and allowing for more effective tensioning, as well as eliminating any drag we are occasionally getting from them in rough seas.

We have also come up with modifications to reduce launch time, with an improved mast step system and faster trampoline installation.
 
Four boats are on order, so far, for spring delivery. The boats continue to be all US built, with components sourced from CA, WI, NC, MA, AZ , CT, and NY, by some of the world's finest designers and fabricators and we're proud to showcase their craftsmanship.

We'll continue to post updates of development.
 
Thank you all for your support.
