GF42 New 42' trimaran design intended for cruising and racing round the buoys and offshore

Greg Lynn has emailed me about his new trimaran a 42' design intended to strike a balance between some creature comforts and high performance.  The trimaran is under construction now and will be a great addition to the growing SoCal multihull scene.  The project is being carried out on as tight a budget as possible.  The tooling and molds will allow the construction of more boats to the same design as part of a limited production run if there is interest.

Greg writes: It is a custom trimaran for my use that I designed in collaboration with Fred Courouble (www.couroubledesign.com) for my own use in Southern California for day sailing with my family and friends as well as coastal and buoy racing.  All of the information on the design and build team as well as some of the specs are on the website and there are some photos on the facebook page:
