I recall seeing a little 16ft sailboat which as the owner got older had a single out rigger added then as he got even older another was added on the other side, now a 16 ft trimaran was about as wide as it was long and if it did flip then there was only sitting on the hull till rescue. keep up the good work mike http://www.woodenboatbuilding.net/ Peter has some really great concepts and design ideas. if anyone has a tippy boat the outrigger is surely the way to go.
