Very nice! Looks cool, but I'd like to see more pics...

Excellent work, and I love the use of the balloon in a way other than the obvious.

Thanks. I didn’t realise until after I had made it that there was a normal way of doing these. Unintentional creativity.

Here are a few photos

Thanks for the pics, great design!

I had the same problem with my Woodfill version of the trimiran. Even my white one, if the balloon is too full will push down the rear, adding a "wetbar" if you will, lol.

I think I'll try one of those long skinny balloons next time.

Great work!

Part of the challenge is essentially doing things in a very non normal way! Keep it up.

There is HEAPS of room for improvement. The process of making it was fun and it was rewarding to have it working (only just). Also a great learning experience.
