Trifle (trimaran)

Trifle was a 42 ft (13 m)[1] trimaran[1] sailboat[1] designed by Derek Kelsall and produced in 1966[2] as a further development of his first trimaran Toria.[1] Featuring a full roach main and small jib,[2] the vessel took part in the 1967 Crystal Trophy race in the English Channel.[1] At the time, it was considered one of the fastest ocean-going multihulls in the world.[1]
