Our home school project is about boats. After seeing mono-hull, and catamaran boats on the river, we also talked about building a trimaran. The three hulls provide great stability.

To power the boat we attached two motors that spin in opposite directions, with a propeller each.

After the first test we noticed that the boat spun around rather than going in a straight line.

For the second test we attached a keel which helped it travel in a straight line.

Boat one was a success!
