Default RE: RC multihulls?

Hello all!

I found this site while searching for what little there appears to be about RC Multihulls.
I'm in Oregon USA.
I've been building and racing OneMeters for 15 years, and recently (on a lark) decided to try a tri. I used one of my old OneMeters, it's very narrow for a mono but a bit fat for a tri, and added to it. The main hull is glass over balsa strip, the float hulls are glass over foam. I made no real attempt at extreme light weight, the idea was simply quick build and go try it out. One meter long and one meter wide.

The trial rig has 1000 sq inches of sail. These ugly things are only temporary sails as I sort out the rig.
I also have a wingsail I built for a landsailer that I intend to try.

Here's pics (if I can get them to post.)
