[MHml] ST7 vs Multi 23

[Bill Gibbs]

How do races that require accomodation, specify that accomodation?  Area?
Volume?

Similar in some ways but different in others:

1. Has more accommodation space (still limited) which in some areas is
required to be able to race.
2. Fuller floats allowing it to be pushed harder (if required) and providing
a stable platform if the boat is used for family trips or even as an vessel
to take our those who may be handicapped in some way.
3. It folds down while the Multi23 needs to be pulled apart.
4. General cockpit arrangement is bigger making it ideal to set up with a
boom tent for over weekend trips as well.

Price wise we hope to come up with something that is comparable to the
Mult23 but there are a lot of boxes to tick before we get that far.

Thanks for your input.

Looks a bit like the Multi-23.  Which is a sweet looking tri, designed by
the French designers Van Peteghem and Lauriot Prevost.  There are 10(?)
sailing in the US, 5 in Marina Del Rey, CA.

I hear they are pretty cheap, being built in China.

I haven't sailed one or against one, yet. 

How is the st7 different?  Accomodations? The Multi 23 has none.

As a family of keen sailors and owners of previous Grainger try's, we like
the idea and concept of the ST7
