Matt was very pleased with the performance on all points of sail. Phil's Foils did a great job and I highly recommend them if you want an excellent rudder, leeboard, or centerboard foil.

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.

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".

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.
