We made a 7sqm screecher for our 14ft plywood Zeta trimaran and tried it today. As you can see from the mirror like surface there wasn't much wind! It was all a lash up, I have no cleats for mainsheet or screecher so had to handhold everything. But it sailed well and tacked easily. You can build your own Zeta trimaran from 7 sheets of ply in 150 hours. The boat weighs 73kgs, 160lbs, ex rig.

MERO may well be the best restored, refitted, and outfitted example of John Bain’s highly attractive, 36 ft ‘stretched’ Silverette Type of 1930s twin screw #motor #yacht. More than 25 years of care in current ownership have included a major restoration followed by structural and detailing #refits, and systems upgrades. MERO benefits from Silvers original semi-open wheelhouse arrangement, offering a fine weather ‘cockpit’ with the covers off, while her easily maintained, low-hours modern Beta diesel engines ensure smooth running and efficient manoeuvers. The whole is the perfect platform for cruising and exploring in classic style, but modern comfort. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/722/MERO
