Trimaran designers

[jdmskis]

I am considering a project to build a 27 foot trimaran using components from another boat. Does anyone know of a multi-hull designer that I could work with?

Thanks in advance...

I'm going to assume you maybe have a pair of floats and you want a main hull ?
If you want foam sandwich and performance cruiser type - Kurt Hughes.
Backyard plywood and practical - Richard Woods.

I tried reaching out to a number of boat designers and naval architects and BY FAR the one who was the most help was Graeme Devaleau.

Website: Delaveau Multihull Design

Graeme is extremely knowledgeable and has gone way out of his way to help. If you are interest AT ALL in building a multihull cruiser check out his website. And well you are there, take a look at the design for a Nicki Cruz 7.6 tri. Just a great design.
