Lock Crowther (c. 1940?–1993; first name by birth Lachlan〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Trimarans on the Gippsland Lakes )〕) was an Australian multihull sailboat designer. He grew up in Bairnsdale in the East Gippsland region of Victoria.〔 Though his first name was Lachlan by birth, he insisted on being called Lock or Lockie.〔 ==Career== Lock and his family〔 built his first boat, a trimaran called ''Bunyip'', in 1959 while he was still a teenager. In 1960 he raced in the Easter regatta at Paynesville, Victoria, Australia, and won against a field of 300 boats. This initial success inspired others to build similar boats. Crowther then studied electrical engineering in Melbourne〔 and in the early 1960s became involved in multihull design and the ''Amateur Yacht Research Society''.〔 In 1962 ''Trio'' was built based upon his designs.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Historic Lock Crowther Kraken & Bunyip Open Trimarans )〕 Crowther's next design was the Kraken 25, garnering some recognition.〔 Later, Lockie decided to give up his day job in Melbourne and move to Sydney to design multihulls full-time.〔 In 1969, a Kraken 40 won the New York to Bermuda race with him aboard.〔 Crowther's first offshore racing trimaran, ''Bandersnatch'', won the Sydney to Hobart multihull race in 1996.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lock Crowther」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
