Has anyone had any experience with one of these? Newick Argonaut.

Dick newick designed a lot of decent trimarans. However, I'm not all that familiar with his folding sport trimaran designs. I don't like the aft end on that boat though... it's a bit on the ugly side IMHO...

A center cockpit trimaran. I have in fact now seen everything.
Ugly with training hulls. This takes ugly to a new level, in fact it may well be an insult to the word ugly. What was the designer thinking?

That's the fugliest thing on wheels - and water, I've ever wastest time looking at.

I think there might be a rather limited re-sale market for something this unusual. If you are thinking about buying it, I wouldn't suggest you pay more than 10% of asking.

Also - sloppy, sloppy finish work on the pieces.

On the plus side, the windshield should make the pitchpole more comfortable.

I think it looks nice. Of course, I find a lot of the old "traditional" monohulls to be kind of fugly.

I'm trying to see some beauty in this, really I am, but . . .

Well, it's folded! All trimarans look stupid folded.

The fixed-beam Newick trimarans are usually fairly pretty boats... that one is pretty damn ughly...
