In this audio clip (below) Jim Brown interviews, sailor, teacher and self-boatbuilder Scot Copeland about his Seaclipper 28 trimaran (and much more). Scot built a Seaclipper 28 trimaran back in 1990. It’s the beautiful yellow boat shown in the photos below. He named her “Three Hands Clapping” and she’s a beauty!

Scot also sailed on an island-built Seaclipper 28 trimaran while living on Hawaii. (Scot loved the Seaclippers so much that he still considers building a Seaclipper 34 trimaran).

Most of Scot’s boatbuilding time nowadays, however, is spent teaching Jr. high kids how to build outrigger canoes & kayaks. (Scot also shares photos featuring some of these boats below also).
