Sailing World Magazine - 2011 Boat of the Year Nomination

“Designer Greg Stewart, builder Barrett Holby, and sailmaker Chuck Allen had their way with [the TRIAK], and came away impressed by what the pint-sized sailboat could do. When you put a sail on a kayak, kayaking finally starts to make sense (to me at least): when you get sick of paddling, deploy the battened sail.” Dave Reed, Editor, Sailing World Magazine (October 13, 2010).

Bob Perry (renowned naval architect), June 2010

“If you enjoy sailing and you also enjoy kayaking you should look at the latest update of the Triak trimaran. The problem with most sailing kayaks and canoes is that they lack stability. This Triak addresses that problem. The updates to the original design have been done by Morrelli and Melvin and the firm certainly has as much experience in designing high-performance multihulls as anyone in the world."

“I found the boat responsive, stable, easy to sail, a little tricky to sail well (every boat should be that way), and a lot of fun.”

Lynn Fitzpatrick, Journalist - on using the TRIAK as her “press platform” during the January, 2011 Rolex Olympic Class Regatta, Biscayne Bay, Florida

“The Triak proved to be the perfect platform for me to use to watch the medal races during US Sailing Rolex Miami Olympic Classes Regatta. I could maneuver among the flotilla and spectator boats during the starting sequences and come to quick stops by roller furling the main and using the paddle to remain in one place. I could unfurl the main quickly and accelerate in any direction I wanted. I stayed dry and I had plenty of opportunity to take pictures and film the action without throwing a wake or interfering with the racing.” Read about Lynn Fitzpatrick

"An ingenious design."

"Sailors will be inspired by the TRIAK's performance."
