Turtled Tries
My only two experiences on multihulls consisted of pitchpoling a Hobi
in a thunderstorm and a ride on a Corsair F31 tri at the St. Pete boat
show. I'd love to have an F31, but $160,000, sheesh. Maybe I can
afford and old Searunner. Right now, I just want to get back to
regular sailing. However, I have read about masthead floats for
multis and seen one once (seriously weird and ugly), SO.......Useless
Idea #3731
Use auto airbag technology to quickly fill an airbag at the masthead
if the mast goes beyond horizontal. This beats using a cylinder to
fill it because of the weight of the cylinder. The airbag would NOT
quickly deflate and might keep the tri from going turtle.
