It's actually mostly wood (double diagonal ply) covered in epoxy/glass. But you are right, it can be built up to any standard you want. In fact some hull repairs will be solid fibreglass.
Beautiful trimaran, I really hope you succeed in rebuilding her. I love Horstman's designs. This one is in even worse shape than mine, not to mention much bigger. I subscribed to cheer you on!
It was basically a giveaway as the owners were keen to find someone prepared and capable of repairing it. But I have spent near AU$10,000 so far on materials, equipment etc
Actually one of my dream trimaran. Horstman TRI-STAR 43 XRC. Sad to see it in that shape. I will sign up for the journey though. Keep us posted.
Thanks for your comment. Yes the 43XRC is a rip snorter. But you get what you can find and can afford. Thanks for your comment.
It's a fiber glass boat. Even if you gut it completely, you can still build it up to any standard you want.

A 6 pack of Beer would have been Too High a price for that Mess.

Thank you. I appreciate it. What size is yours? If this was not available I was hoping for a 27-9! But this one is a far more practical size.
mine is 7.20m or 23'. I treat mine like a solo day sailor mostly and stay aboard a couple of nights.
@@sail4lifeAh! A Farrier. I had one very similar and lived on board for over a year. Good boats. Love your colour scheme.
Where in the philippines are you. Bohol ?
Tambobo bay, Negros Oriental.
How much did you pay for it?
