Ive got a Nacra 5.8 that I can use the hulls for building a Strike 20, I know they are appropriate for the build, but Ive heard that they are a bit on the heavy side for building the Strike 20. Would they still be sufficient or should I look for alternative donor hulls? Reese

Nacra 5.8 donor hulls too heavy for Strike 20? Ive got a Nacra 5.8 that I can use the hulls for building a Strike 20, I know they are appropriate for the build, but Ive heard that they are a bit on the heavy side for building the Strike 20. Would they still be sufficient or should I look...

wondering if anyone has used the Prindle hulls for building the Strike 18 tri? do they have enough buoyancy? I know they don't have dagger boards but are those needed on the trimaran?

Patrick, with all these outriggers using donor or building your own for the Strike 20, where is the dagger-board or centerboard you are using? do you use any in the outriggers or just one in the center hull? Reese

Im planning on building a Strike 18 or 20 Trimaran and one option I was thinking if I scaled these down to either 19' or 17' I could use them as the outriggers/ama's for either of those two trimarans.

I am looking to build some hulls from a Tornado plan I downloaded. On the side panel dimensions, there looks like two numbers for offsets on the upper side of the Datum line (See red arrow)? one looks like the original ones but there have been a 2nd set of dimensions added. anyone know why...

I recently purchased plans for the Strike 18 but have been intrigued by the Strike 20 and curious why is the 20 classified as more "performance"? reason being, Im having the hardest time tracking down donor hulls in the 17' range, i.e. Nacra 5.2 but do seem to be more boats slightly bigger for...

I have decided on the Strike 18 and have purchased plans. Now trying to locate parts. I'm in Southern California and wondering what might be the best recommended donor hulls. Some choices would be the Prindle, or the Nacra 5.2? what would be pros and cons between the different ones? and are...

Strike 18 plans, main hull only vs. with Quattro outriggers Not sure of the difference between the plans? are the plans complete enough with the main hull only to build the whole boat? info including the ams's, etc? Thanks! Reese

Actually I had already ordered the Study Plans for the Wizard and had also thought of that boat as a build, but feel that might be a bit much for what I need although did enjoy reading what it is capable of doing. Reese
