Charlars

Article By Shorty


Charles Nichols (in the blue shirt) struck great interest in the Michalak Trilars.

Couple of years ago he built a model and brought it to the messabout.

As a side note, in that photo of the model, I am standing right behind Charles and you can see a portion of my hand. Ever seen Monsters Inc? Mike Wazowski ?

You can see that this has a special rear facing jump seat, intended for Charles's wife. Great idea !!

The list of modifications are:
1 - The main hull does not have the designed foredeck, just a flat foredeck from the crossbeam forward.
2 - The amas and crossbeams are of Charles's design.
3 - The sail rig is a 90 sq ft balanced lug instead of a 69 sq ft sharpie sprit.

These were enough changes that Michalak would like it to be called something other than a Trilars.















Sure is a pretty boat.
