my new to me folding 28' Trimaran

This is a one off trimaran built and designed by a Gentleman in his mid 80s who is now unavailable to answer questions about the design. I am hopeful to talk with a knowledgeable person about Trimarans and maybe discover a way to get the masts and the sails going quicker as I estimate when I know what I am doing it will take a couple of hours. I live in Belfair, WA, but can be in all kind of places in this state within 90min, live about an hour from Pt. Townsend.
I have some cosmetic and hull fiberglass repairs to do, but that should be accomplished within the month of May. I spent 30yrs in a big boat yard, but that was steel fabrication, but everyday had to solve problems and this trimaran and epoxy and fiberglass is well within my skills as I have been a live a board in the past.
So, if you know of or are a knowledgeable person regarding trimarans, I hope we can do some boat talk. Thanks

You might try an internet search with the name of your Trimaran and Forum.. Or, just the name of the Trimaran and follow a couple of leads to find a forum or blog about your boat.
Congratulations!

Go to the Wooden Boat forum and use their search. I read a thread about Trimaran's some time back. They had all kinds of links to different kinds and the people in the thread seamed very knowledgeable. They could give you some in site and probably even know the builder.
