**Dual #MakeItFloat and #CatchTheWind entry**
This is the Livo 3, a trimaran (three-hulled sailboat).
Its two outer hulls swing into three different possible positions:
- It can be locked into the fully extended configuration, which is the predicted main sailing configuration and should provide maximum speed and stability, especially in side-wind.
- It can be configured into a middle position with the out hulls at an intermediate distance from the central hull, and swooping backward, for increased maneuverability in tight areas.
- Finally, it can be 'closed, with the outer hull adjacent to the central one, as to occupy minimal space on a theoretical trailer, or when docked at port.
This is the third boat, in a series that I have made as summer vacation projects (hence the name and the three hulls), although the first two were not 3D printed, but carved in wood.
The files are still temporary, but when it is done the boat should be fully functional,
