The first Zeta trimaran, a new design from Richard Woods, is now under sail. We first featured the Zeta here.
Here are some pics and a video of the first sail of the first boat. Looks pretty good, especially with light wind.
One obvious goal of the pictures is to emphasize the boat’s lightness in weight. That is surely a great feature, especially for guys that want to easily trailer (or cartop) a boat to a nearby body of water, go sailing for a couple of hours, and then pack the boat up for the trip back home.
Richard will have this Zeta on display at the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival about a month from now … from September 9-11.
Building plans for the Zeta trimaran can be obtained from Richard via his website.
