Paradox has been designed and built as an offshore racing trimaran for short and single handed sailing. She is an ideal boat for events such as OSTAR and for RORC races.
The accommodation area is surprisingly spacious, due to
the siting of the daggerboards in the outriggers.
There is a rudder on each outrigger, as well as the main hull, which combined with the twin dagger boards makes Paradox manoeuvre like a dinghy.
Plugs and moulds were made for both the main hull and
outriggers to ensure the highest build quality and strength. She has been built
in glassfibre with isothalic polyester resin and PVC foam core with alloy
crossbeams. All the gear has been bought new during the build of the boat.
