No, it's not what you think.  The boat did not get in the water just yet.  But I had to take the trailer to Magic Tilt to see what was needed to customize it for the Tridarka Raider.  Then I took it over to JSI for some rigging input.


Slowly she pokes her head out of the shop.


And gets hooked to the van for a ride to the shop.

This happened a couple weeks ago, but I have been "busy" with other matters lately.

      Hi. Nice looking boat. Would like to build a boat like this myself. What is the width on the trailer. We are limited to 7'6" here in the uk.

        Sorry, the width is 8'6" which is legal here in the U.S.  That is using the sliding aluminum tubes for the akas which makes trailering, rigging, and launching easier.

        If you used the original wood akas and a special trailer you might be able to get it down to 7'6".

          Thanks for the reply. I like the boat very much. Do you know if its possible to buy plans still? The link on the tridarka website doesn't work and there's no email address for the designer.
