spring 1992, de designs of the TR40 arrive. Trijnie, a martime design engineer thinks: is this the cross section of the whole boat ??
within this frames the main hull of TR40 will be build
this cross section setup of the mainhull looks more real. (Simon Rhebergen of Rhebergen Multihull Yachts)
the hull showes it shape, beautiful !!
look at the thin connections with the floats and the heavy pack of glass at the hull. That is counter intuitive.
preparing the upper side of the deck
a cold christmas 1992, shaping the daggerboard
the outer frames are removed. the hull will be turned over to apply glass at the outside
the main hull is coated with epoxy/filler plaster. The fairing and sanding can begin
sanding the TR40, days and days hard working to remove pumps and valeys in the fairing
may 1993, thinking about the ergonomics of the cockpit
designer tony grainger and trijnie. this TR40 is the first design build in foam/epoxy and he is impressed by the stiffess of the construction
the floats are mounted to the end of the beams
this looks special :)
the main construction of the TR40 is finished, however years more work still
