www.triloboats.com is one of the websites run by JRA member Dave Ziegler. Dave's mission statement is, "TriloBoats are formula designs for simple, DIY (Do It Yourself) plywood box-barges (scows) for sail, power and/or mooring. Their intent is to help your home-built boat onto the water in the shortest possible time, with the most possible bang for the buck (return on investment). To this end, TriloBoats are optimized for DIY home builders. As such, they are relatively inexpensive and quick to build using basic carpentry skills, tools and materials.Whether as sailing barge, power scow, or shanty boat; whether as gunk-holer, protected water cruiser or live-aboard houseboat; TriloBoats intend to provide a commodious, stable and seaworthy platform for living large on the water."
Pete Hill's catamaran Oryx is a much-modified Bernd Kohler plywood design for DIY-ers. Pete's KD 860 is here. Badger inspired many members to follow in Pete's wake - maybe Oryx will do the same!
