I'm confused.... where do the sails go on RV Triton  %) %) %)

Haven't seen many commercially produced hulls but there have been some kits, you try the Fidji 60 Tri by Equipage or look for a Robbe Topcat, looks like a Dart.

Have you tried the British model multihull association?

You don't want to model Triton ----she rolls like a barrel in mod seas 30 deg In a force 4/5 is not unusual ....I did 3/4 trips on her in the north sea -- the surveyors often used to sleep in the messdeck as they could'nt stay in thier bunks
