Just out here on vacation and drove past this thing... Never seen anything like it.

Folding trimaran.

I saw one of these for the first time two weeks ago. So cool!

Ya, pretty wild setup for sure...

Very cool.

I wonder what the maintenance is like on one of these.

[–] dmtalon 1 points 2 years ago

Delayed reply :). But I'd think a lot. I also imagine putting it on the trailer would be difficult!

I remember seeing the concept for this in about 1998 or so. I think they would be quite fast, and easy to get on/off a trailer. But I've never had the chance to try one.

found it on Yachtworld... https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/2008-telstar-28-8799496/

Not cheap, not much inside space... Guessing the price reflects it's rarity.

I always thought these things were super weird/interesting
