SeaCart 30 Trimaran SeaCart 30 Trimaran The SeaCart 30 is a trimaran sailboat. A trimaran is a multihulled boat consisting of a main hull (vaka) and two smaller outrigger hulls (amas), attached to the main hull with lateral struts (akas). Since 2005 when the full carbon one design SeaCart 30 GP (Grand Prix) (SC30 GP) offshore Trimaran was introduced performance sailors have been enjoying flying two of three hulls. Rudders on the amas (pontoons) make handling swift and precise. The ultra light strong carbon construction and a non existing interour (can be added) plus extra large sailplan make the carbon GP model a
Pontoon effect a trimaran with narrow-beam floats will simply submerge the lee float, exposing only the weather wing and that with a lesser moment. In practical sea situations the windage effect is greater than the buoyancy effect and so cruising trimarans with highly buoyant floats are more, not less, likely to capsize than those with less buoyant floats. A trimaran is best stabilised not by adding buoyancy on the lee float but adding weight to the weather float. This is the basis of the "cool-tubes" stability system invented by Tristan Jones and L. Surtees. A large-diameter pipe closed at the aft end
