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. |
