TRIMARANS

Originally designed for Tony Considine in 1995 Trilogy has had a very long and successful racing career under the command of Keith Glover and a very focused crew. Trilogy's titles include no less than six times winner of the Australian National Championships.

Born to Run was the first Grainger design, launched in January 1986. I called the design the 075 because it was originally 7.5m long, but I extended it to 8m during the build process.

Born to Run attracted a lot of attention with her performance at Hamilton Island Race Week that year and was instrumental in inspiring a host of new trimaran designs.

I lofted the lines full size in the back yard on sheets of chip board (pre MDF and computers). I was lucky to get the loftings done before rain destroyed the chip board and the lines were lost.
