I am helping my Grandsons renew an older Trimaran. We do not know the builder for certain. I think that it may be an older Magnum 21. I say older because looking at the newer ones, it does not have the open transom, instead it is a closed flat stern, It is 21 ft. long. It has folding pontoons. They lift up on hinged arms. Can anyone help me ID the boat. Also the old beatup sail has the Vecter logo on it. I am looking for a replacement rudder. tiller and sails. The main luff is 21' 3.5", foot is 8'7" it has a 33 " roach. Any help would be great!

it would help if you posted photos of the boat. the easiest way to post photos is to upload them to a photo sharing site like flickr.com and link to the images using the yellow postcard like image link icon in the toolbar.

BTW, it sounds like it might be a farrier-design, like the tri-trailer or the tramp. You can see many of the older Farrier designs HERE.

Here is a pictute of the 21 ft. trimaran. Can anyone identify the make/model? The outriggers fold up.

Do you have a better photo... that one pretty much blows chunks...

Can't see any detail in the hulll and detail of the crossbeams and hull would help with identifying it. Also can't make out the ama hull lines. A closer viewpoint would also show more of the deck and the shape of the hulls.

Is it a centerboard or a daggerboard design??

I uploaded the better photos to flickr.com. The tags start with "unknown trimaran". Hope you can ID the boat.

Thanks!
