Hi Mark, I've been reading one of the boards and you mention that someone in Florida had a trimran that had "Drastically raked transom". I've sailed on a few boats in my youth, and am really interested in trimarans. My wife calls it a midlife crisis, and fears that I will attempt to buy one and sail off into the sunset. I tell her that is non-sense, cause we are on the east coast, so I would have to sail off into the sunrise. :-)
Anyway, I assume the Amas are mostly the same length of the main hull for balance sake and stability. But I have been wondering why they could not be moved forward or backward, and how the boat would be affected sailing wise.
Thanks for any thoughts on the matter, I'm in Virginia, just north of you.
Take Care,
Todd
