Lady on the Tramp
Intrigued by small trimarans?

Then I think you will enjoy reading the two books that Joe Farinaccio has put together over the last year or so. They are both collections of interviews with a broad range of designers, both well known and lesser so, that take you into their mindset to learn more about their particular design goals, specific designs and approach and certainly make for interesting reading. More info can be found at Joe's www.smalltrimarans.com blog.

You will also find the $7.00 report on some 20 small tris—a great companion, with many facts and figures that are not in the books. This report includes charts, graphs and photos as well as critical, objective reporting on many of these boats.   Please click HERE for more information.
