TRI-STAR 54 a luxurious sailing yacht for cruising or chartering. Tri-Star 54 evolved from the great sailing and proven TRI-STAR 49 and 50 family of trimarans. First designed for charter, we started with the flared hull for the spaciousness it gives the lounge area and the aft cabin. The aft cabin may be two double staterooms or one large stateroom. The galley is forward and spacious, fully equipped to serve all. The lounge area layout may be similar to Tri-Star 49. Tri-Star 54 is a spacious, comfortable, seaworthy and a fast level sailing luxurious trimaran that will be a joy to own and sail.

Layouts You can customize your new Catamaran with the layout you design.  If you would like to move the kitchen, or make the living room larger, it can be done.  The design would need to fit within the parameters of the hull and structural bulkheads. 

Nine++ staterooms, plus crew quarters with luxurious saloon and galley area.

Horstman - the engineer of catamarans and trimarans

Ed Horstman is a naval architect and designer, the creator of his own office. He is developing the designs of catamarans and trimarans made of modern materials. Many sailing vessels can be found among the Ed Horstmann projects. The developer is keen on such boats.

Among the water sports enthusiasts and professionals the most popular catamarans and trimarans were those that were built by different shipyards according to the projects of this engineer. The vessels are made of modern materials. Fiberglass and composites are mainly used. The fiberglass catamarans are lightweight and more resistant to external factors.

The trimarans made by Ed Horstman have repeatedly participated in the competitions and received the awards. The are the lighweight and fast sailing ships that seem to be made to hover over the sea. They are aesthetic and fascinating. The trimarans of some manufacturers seem to be too cumbersome and awkward, but the vessels designed by the British marine engineer, do not make such an impression.

Any of the ships built according to the projects of this designer is a dream for the enthusiast of water sports. Today, the buyers can find on sale the ready-made racing sailboats made by Ed Horstmann at the brokers. They are in excellent condition and ready for new challenges. Such boats do not require special maintenance. They are practical, so do not create any problems for the owners. The cost of the marine engineer boats is only growing with each passing year.

1982 Ed Horstman Design TriStar 31

  • Description

Seller's Description

Horstman Design Trimaran. Well built, however suffering deck issues. Original builders available to advise the repairs. Otherwise in good condition. Great for tiny boat living and exploring the islands.

Equipment: Main Sail Jib Sail 20amp Bat Charger depth portapotty Yanmar 15hp (1285hrs)

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
