Trimarans

Do marinas still charge a surcharge if you can berth it folded? Some charge 50 percent extra and at least one I know of charges double for multihulls.

Not an issue for me here as it will not be marina berthed.

I pay for a 10.5m berth for our 920. It’s not always folded, but the rudder and engine make up the rest anyway. They haven’t noticed the bowsprit yet.

Plymouth Yacht Haven use to charge me normal rates - alongside berth (unfolded).

Ditto Troon Yacht Haven when I had my previous F27 there unfolded, I think some other marina groups are a tadge quicker out with the tape measure and less unfolded Trimaran friendly and less likely to offer alongside berthing.
I'm probably aiming for Plymouth YH next season or maybe straight back upto the Clyde.....

Is there a section that discusses Trimarans?

I appear to have acquired a small share in one.

I had a Telstar. A bad buy, it was badly build and did not sail very well. I sold it after a year

I am suprised the builder was the yard foreman atKelsalls when Iworked there in 1970 seemed keen and interested
