Three Million Cheers (TMC) is our Tennant designed Turissimo 9 catamaran. This blog celebrates our bohemian (simple) cruising style on fast open catamarans. Also featured is our previous catamaran INTENSE, TMC's little sister.

TMC Details

TMC is a Turissimo 9 design, 9m x 6m (29'6" x 20')
  Each hull is 1.2m (4') wide allowing her to be trailered after being disassembled. Construction is double diagonal cold moulded mahogany ply, epoxy glue with a light fiberglass sheathing. She tips the scales at about 5,000lbs (I think) but I have yet to weigh her officially. Rig is overgrown beachcat style with fully battened main and rotating tapered aluminum mast. Auxiliary power is a Yamaha high thrust 9.9 extra long (25") shaft mounted in a central pod. Daggerboards in each hull and dagger style rudders lift to allow us to float in about 16" of water. Our interior layout differs slightly from the design plans shown below but you get the idea.
