AM31e
Ultra Performance Folding Trimaran


The high performance trailerable trimaran that just so happens to be
affordable!
The AM31e is an advance design that takes performance racer/cruiser
folding trimarans to a new level of performance, sophistication,
comfort and refinement. All at a cost that is affordable to everyone!
The AM31e design takes full advantage of vacuum infusion using our own
proprietary epoxy resin system to provide incredible strength,
lightweight and the highest resistance to osmotic blistering. The foam
core provides fantastic stiffness, strength and full flotation even if
the AM31e were to be cut in two! This state of the art boat uses the
revolutionary Gen4 folding system to provide greater extended beam,
reduced weight, greater seaworthiness and less towing wind drag. Please
note that pictures are of the 27 and 29 along with the AM31e, all
designed by Mark Kettering.
The amazing performance with 24-knots plus speed capability brings a
new level of performance to production cruising trimarans.
