Victor Tchetchet (1891-1974) was a pioneering early modern multihull sailboat designer from the Ukraine who is thought to have coined the term 'trimaran'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Victor Tchetchet )〕 (Though Éric de Bisschop built a trimaran in France earlier.) Born in Kiev, Victor was inspired by South Pacific outriggers to connect two canoes to make a catamaran and enter the Kiev Imperial Yacht Club's local races. After winning, he was disqualified.〔 In 1923 (age circa 32) he emigrated to New York and further experimented with catamarans and trimarans.〔 In 1945 (age circa 54) he launched his first trimaran, of length.〔 In 1946 (age circa 55) he entered the Marblehead Race Week. Despite a poor performance, his participation helped to overcome the local prejudice against multihulls after Nathaniel Herreshoff's 1876 win with the catamaran ''Amaryllis'' at the New York Yacht Club's Centennial Regatta.〔 In the same year, he established the International Multihull Boat Racing Association.〔 ==Designs== Victor Tchetchet's boat designs include the following: *''T26'' (trimaran) - (circa 1949) *''Egg Nog'' (trimaran) - (circa 1955)〔 *''Egg Nog II'' (trimaran) 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「Victor Tchetchet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
