Tri Star 41
Description
The Tri-Star 41 (also styled TriStar 41) is a larger cruising trimaran in Ed Horstman's long-running Tri-Star series. It was designed for amateur or small-yard construction using detailed plans, typically in cold-molded plywood (double-diagonal epoxy-sheathed) or foam/fiberglass sandwich. It emphasizes spacious accommodations, reserve buoyancy in the amas (outer hulls), and suitability for coastal cruising or longer passages rather than pure racing.
