A DIY boatbuilder-sailor sent me the following pictures of his sailing canoe in trimaran configuration. Vyacheslav is in Russia and has built a 3-piece canoe. Its sections can be nested for easier transportation.
I love the lightweight aspect of this paddling/sailing craft, among other things. And the sail rig looks very similar to the ones built and sold by Solway Dory.

I love this canoe-trimaran more than any other boat. I’ve dedicated almost a year of my life to building it.
This year I plan to make a new version 5, 5 meters long and armed with two masts. There will be a different scheme of division into three sections. The fore and aft sections will have a deck. Trimaran. Fibreglass.
