He spent much of his life in San Diego, California, beginning to design multihulls in the 1950s, starting with catamarans. [1] His full-time multihull development work began in 1968. [ 1 ]
Constant Camber 26 is a 26 ft (7.9 m) cruising sloop trimaran sailboat designed in the 1970s by John Marples featuring berths for two adults and two children. [1] [2] The constant camber hull is constructed using a single master template to produce each panel, resulting in a design with unchanging curvature, imparting extraordinary strength similar to an eggshell.
Jim Brown stayed with Piver's narrow-waisted hulls while introducing the centerboard, center cockpit, and cutter rig. Of the 47 multihulls we spoke outside U.S. waters, 13 were Brown designs. While poor payload capacity and hobby-horsing are owner complaints with the 31 and 37, his 40-footer gets high marks.
The vessel was designed by LOMOcean Design (formerly Craig Loomes Design Group Ltd.) and built by Calibre Boats in Auckland, New Zealand. [13] The wave-piercing trimaran design allowed for improved speed and stability. The boat was fully submersible, able to cut through 15-metre (49 ft) waves and go 7 m (23 ft) underwater. [2]
The design concept comprises a narrow, long hull that cuts through waves. The outriggers then provide the stability that such a narrow hull needs. While the aft sponsons act as trimaran sponsons do, the front sponsons do not touch the water normally; only if the ship rolls to one side do they provide added buoyancy to correct the roll.

During Crowther's career, over 2500 of his designs were built. [3] A notable design was the trimaran Spirit of America, an early user of GRP-foam sandwich construction featuring composite beams with unidirectional fibres and turned-down ends. Crowther also developed 'bulbous bows' to reduce pitching, and thus increase speed when sailing upwind ...
