Building Libertist 850 - new 28' tri

Picture 1 above...with landing gear deployed! Great new feature. Looks like it just touched down after entering the atmosphere.

There are very capable, and very fast, multihulls out there which have a payload equal to vessel weight. These are not expensive racing craft either, though fast cruisers.

Almost every Erik’s boat - aiming more cruising than cruising-racing - has payload of half lightship.

Maybe due to lack of condomarinium 😂😂😂

It looks a lot like a Dragonfly.

Certainly well. She is sister-ship.

More over she is a bit heavier, has cling-clang hinges, maintenance free water stays and baroque furniture with ornaments.

We just forgot to invent reversed-super-fashioned-buyityouneedit-bows.

😂😂😂😎👍

At 26% less declared weight it should be faster than a DF28. But this needs to be demonstrated in race results. If the two are close, DF’s folding nature would kill any 1-2kt speed advantage. It needs to be a lot faster.

Hi,

The DF did not want to compete during Grande Motte boat show...
