The large 8 foot by 6 foot cockpit accommodates four comfortably. For a party sail in protected waters, you could carry up to eight, five in the cockpit and three on the tramps. This was seen as more desirable than widening the hull. This boat will pass the beachcats when fully loaded and teach them a lesson or two when single handed. The Warren23 is one of the easiest trimarans to build.
Every component is strip plank, including the beams and the mast.
The cockpit is constructed out of sheet material, there are no curves in the cockpit structure. Although rectilinear in shape and easy to build, the cockpit looks good because the seats are hidden behind the forward beam. She is demountable to be trailered. The beams attach to the main hull with a set of through pins and attach to the akas with either my experimental tube and socket system or a more conventional bolt and tab system. The tube and socket attachment allow the amas freedom in a seaway.
