Crazy idea. Took SNARK and messed with it until it became a cool little trimaran. Three year process and still not done. Expedition cruiser for the Texas 200, and hopefully another go at the Everglades Challenge...hopefully - if I live that long and the wife says yes. Don't try this. I call it scabbing. It's strictly for crazy demented people with too much time on their hands. She's pretty though and fitted out with her carry bags, and spinnaker bag. She will be very unique and quite safe for her size.

Thx. Carries 142sf. Plenty. Just added 2 feet extra to the amas since this trip. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZrClf9CouqvRo58.html

Crazy, right? Not for the smart or faint of heart. Then too, she has continued to morph, new stuff, including more foresail, hiking bench seats, larger foil rudder, oars, and above all new bottom shape - don’t even ask. More video shows it all. Enjoy.

if it works . . . seems incredibly awesome. (talk about a "super snark"!!!). good luck with the ever-going work/sail. I"ll be sure to check out some more of your stuff. cheers!🌅

Hi Eric I finally got amas built for my snark. It looks like the two beams are set at the same height so that the amas are parallel to the main hull. Is this correct or do the amas have a slight height advantage forward as compared to aft? Thanks and regards Glen

@@GlenWatson-os9ri I just put mine where they fit since I wasn’t able to find other materials. I never had a real problem with the forward being lower, although would have been better higher. Worked out well for sheeting jib having aka below the wood like that. Plus easier to stand/sit on when necessary. Just get the angle of your ama waterline where you want it. I did extend my AMAs after this was taken by 2’. Another video shows that. Mine were a little underboyant for the winds I liked sailing in. Cheers.

akas are 4 independent pieces. short 6061 aluminum sections inside pvc pipe attached by bolted ss 2" clamps to boat. these did not run full with of boat to save weight. short insert 6061 aluminum tubing slid into those. insert pieces are 1 5/8" od sleeved with fiberglass to fit receivers with 1 7/8" id. wall thickness 1/8" on both. hope that helps
