Home made sailing kayak trimaran, the hardware was purchased through West Marine stores and the raw materials were either local metal shop or McMaster Carr website. If there is a specific part or set up you have a questions about feel free to leave me a question.

Using life time kids kayaks?
Effortless navigation. Well done.
I want to see it in action. Wonderful job. Congrats mate.
It's such ashamed you don't fish in such beautiful water on your youtube video ?
Спасибо, все на столько хорошо показано, что понятно и без перевода.
That Ford tho
I like it.Thanks for the vid.
This thing is cool man
Very well done, been dreaming of a diy tri’, and found your post,could you make a video on what you have learned so far ie max wind speed,thoughts of a gib,seat comfort, leg room,aluminium stress fatigue.👍👍👍👍
I was just thinking about that as the weather warms up around here. I'll need an update video for sure.
Very inventive. I'll bet you're having fun with that.
It will take 2 hours to set it up if you don't have a trailer. I would change it so it would take less time setting up and launch it.
Greetings from Guatemala. Do you have instructions on how to make the sail? It looks like something I would like to make, but I cannot figure out very much about how the sail was made from this video. Thank you.
Hello Allan, the sail is actually from a "Hobie Island". I bought it used and modified it to fit my frame.
@@gsixxer06 - Thank you so much for your response to my question. You have made my day. Not because of your answer, which I appreciate, but because after seeing your response, I just had to watch this video again. And this video is so peaceful and beautiful, I love it. It reminds me of a time, about fifty years ago, when I spent some time living in Oregon. Now I live by a beautiful lake in a small Maya village in Guatemala, and a few weeks ago my brain decided I just had to build a boat to take out on this lake. Since then I have spent many hours watching boat video after boat video, looking for ideas on how I should design my boat. Before I saw this video, I had already decided to build a catamaran that was small, very light weight, and that had a sail. And I had already decided that it would be fine if this boat was only big enough for one person - me, and that I could enjoy being on the lake with my catamaran, even if it never went any faster than I see your boat moving in this video. However, there are often times here in the afternoon when the wind on the lake gets pretty strong, and I think a boat like yours or the one I will be building, is going to really move pretty fast in that strong wind.

Thanks for making this video
excelente resolucion , es ud un ingeniero mecanico!!!! ESTOY EN UN PROYECTO SIMILAR CON UN KAYAK Y LAS AMAS LAS HARE CON SENDAS TABLAS DE WIND SURF
Gran idea, buena suerte.
gracias marinero
How does she handle on the sound
It went pretty well, super stable. Was getting 4-5 knots.
That really all fits in your car? Or did you mean on and in your car? Super cool and way cheaper than a new hobie island.
Thank you, and yes. I meant in and on my car. The kayak, frame and sail fasten to a roof rack.
Well thought out craft. Really well done 💯👍👍👍
I'm in the process of adding inflatable Stand up paddleboards as the outside hulls. Liked your simple approach to the daggerboard.
I like it! Well done sir!
I'm loving the vids too. I'm hoping to build a kayak catamaran after the truck camper is finished. I almost bought some land on Cushman. So beautiful. I was surprised to see a kayak can handle the sound! I have a lot to learn :)
You are my new inspiration! I'm starting from scratch with an old patinaed 16' AlumaCraft canoe that I just bartered for pressure washing an elderly lady's front steps since she'll never be using it again :-) Been looking at lots of stabilizer setups, but since I want some deck space, your setup will best fit my situation. Thanks so much.
Yoo this is really cool!!!! I bet that ship is suuuper stable with the 2 extra boats on the side!
Nice build dude
Glad you're making these videos mate! As soon as exams finish I'm working on making my own katamayak, out of garbage shop things and some kayaks that I found discarded from a outdoor gear store. Really like your setup, inspiring. Stay happy from Australia!
Thanks for the feedback! We're heading into the cold months up here but I'll be back out next spring for sure.
Love the use of the wider outer pontoons. Gives more options for cargo say you want to go camping, etc. If I could make one I'd want to do the same. :)
What is the diameter of the mat pole? Looks like it is bigger than the the Hobie Mirage mast in diameter.
It is bigger, it's made of 3" diameter aluminum pipe. There are needle bearings installed to help it spin.
@@gsixxer06 Looking to use a mirage mast on a fiberglass touring kayak that has an one inch mast fitting. Anyway, great build. Do you have a video of it in sailing action?
Hopefully in another week or so the weather will be good enough here to take it out on the Puget Sound. Stay tuned!
great idea and execution! Hope the sea trial was not disappointing performance-wise...I, too, would love to see it her underway
That's wild! A homemade Hobie AI! Pretty neat to see how all of was put together. Id love to able weld aluminum for projects, valuable skill.... Hope the sea trials go well. (Maybe a Happy Birthday is in order?!?!)
Thanks Trip! Means a lot!
Very cool. Informative and helpful. You do a good job with your explanation and detail.
Fantastic! Your creativity and craftsmanship are inspiring. Thanks for the detailed walkthrough. It would be fun to see a companion video of this craft in action sometime.
Thank you for the feedback! As soon as the weather gets warmer and the parks open up, I'll be out on the water.
