The World's Largest Sailing Trimaran
The Cuan Law is the largest sailing trimaran in the world, and she's not like any other live-aboard dive boat you've encountered. Custom designed for luxury live-aboard diving and sailing by owner/designer Duncan Muirhead in 1988, Cuan Law spans 105 feet in length and 44 feet in width. Two 110' masts spread 5,200 square feet of sail over the massive deck. Her size and the tri-hull design provide extreme stability, both at anchor and while underway. The seven crew members, headed up by Captain Gerry Matt, will make you feel right at home the minute you step foot onboard. The name Cuan Law reflects owners and designers, Duncan and Annie Muirhead's Scots heritage. ''Cuan'' is the Scottish-Gaelic word for ocean and ''Law'' is Scottish for mountain. The images of Cuan Law's impressive size resembles the mountaintop rising from the ocean's surface. Take the Virtual Tour! Building began in June 1987 in Wheatley, Ontario, a small fishing town on the shores of Lake Eerie. The hull was completed in early November and Cuan was launched and taken on her first voyage across Lake Eerie, through the Welland Barge Canal and across Lake Ontario to Gananonque where her sister ship, the Lammer Law, was built in 1980. The weekend they moved her was one of the coldest that entire winter and at one point they had five tons of ice on her decks, not to mention the icicles hanging off her wing surfaces. Her interior, rig and commissioning took place in and around Gananonque and a few weeks after her christening she left for the British Virgin Islands via the St. Lawrence Seaway, Nova Scotia, Bermuda and down. Her passage was not as fast as Lammer's in 1980 as she had head winds all the way! Meet the Crew! Designer: Duncan MuirheadOwner: Trimarine Boat Co.
