TriloBoats were designed by Dave Zeiger as a formula-generated class of box barge (or scow) hulls based on construction from sheet materials. The rules-of-thumb generate hundreds of instances in a wide array of sizes and functional layouts. Potential layouts include kayak, skiff, cargo carrier, landing craft, tug, ferry, houseboat, cruiser and multihull. They are compatible with sail and power. Appropriately designed, built and handled, TriloBoats are seaworthy across a wide range of conditions.
The rules-of-thumb are selected to simplify construction for dramatic savings in time, energy, material and money. This allows general construction by persons with very modest skills, with minimal resources and infrastructure. Refer to http://www.triloboats.com/
