Victor Tchetchet (June 19, 1891 – April 26, 1974) was a pioneering early modern multihull sailboat designer from Ukraine (at his birth part of the Russian Empire) who is thought to have coined the term 'trimaran', [1] though Éric de Bisschop built a trimaran in France earlier. [citation needed] He was also a landscape and portrait painter ...
Wētā racing on Huntington Lake California High Serra Regatta 2017 Wētā features. The Wētā 4.4 Trimaran is a 4.4 metre (14 foot) sailing dinghy conceived and developed in New Zealand from 2001-2006 by Roger and Chris Kitchen and others with original drawings by TC Design's Tim Clissold.
The trimarans produced by this shipyard are characterized by a folding technology denominated "SwingWing". [2] This allows them to use marina berths intended for monohulls and be trailerable . The smallest model, the Dragonfly 25, [ 3 ] is narrow enough (2.3m) to not need special permits, as is the Dragonfly 28 (which at 2.54m is just under the ...
Because of their size and relative ease of setup, ready-to-fly park flyers are among the most popular class of RC aircraft for beginners and advanced pilots alike. Advanced electronic and material technologies have even brought forth high-performance, park flyer sized " 3D-flyers ", or fully aerobatic aircraft capable of extreme high g ...
The Telstar line has been designed and built by Tony Smith; in 1969 Tony Smith was 25 years old and had built two 25 ft (7.6 m) trimarans and raced 3,000 miles (4,800 km) round Britain in a 33 ft (10 m) trimaran. Smith had developed a vast store of knowledge about trimarans and their behavior in varying sea states.
A notable design was the trimaran Spirit of America, an early user of GRP-foam sandwich construction featuring composite beams with unidirectional fibres and turned-down ends. Crowther also developed 'bulbous bows' to reduce pitching, and thus increase speed when sailing upwind in a swell.
Good trainer planes and gliders can be made from SPADs. SPAD modelers make equally good advanced planes that can be made with corrugated plastic. They include: RC Airplane Combat, 3D Flying, and are preferred in places where the flyers would normally not risk a more expensive plane and yet want the same flying characteristics of balsa planes.
