Beachable, but not a cat

I just picked up a Farrier Tramp 19' trimaran locally. A total barn find. This thing was in the woods for 30 years. No sails, running or standing rigging, but the hulls are mint. Only has one tramp in bad shape. The guy inherited it and wanted it gone. Hopefully as he cleans up the property he stumbles upon the other parts and gives me a call. This will take some time to get sailing. I reckon once I get new shrouds I can rig up my spare N5.2 sails and give it a go. I will post pics once I get the trailer rolling and drag it over.

Ian Farrier created a lot of interesting designs.

The Tramp was really early.

I recommend you join/subscribe to the related groups.io groups (FCT|Main, FCT|F-boats, FCT/TrailerTris).
