Constant Camber 35 (TRI)
Description
The Constant Camber 35 (CC 35) trimaran was designed by John Marples (in collaboration with Jim Brown, who pioneered the Constant Camber wood-epoxy construction method for multihulls). It was introduced in the late 1970s to early 1980s (plans first published around that period, with early builds following soon after, as part of Marples' Constant Camber series emphasizing accessible amateur construction and offshore cruising capability). The boat is not a mass-production model from a single factory but a plans-based design for owner-builders or small yards, using the Constant Camber technique (curved plywood sheets on a single mold for efficient hull building).

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
