Hi,
If you had the boat split down the middle for everyday trailering there wouldn't be much point in having the beams telescope. Telescoping allows the boat to be trailered without any dismantling making road to water a very quick and easy affair. Alternatively, removable bows would still allow telescoping and give a leeward hull 4 metres long like the windward hull. You still have two 8 metre masts though given more effort these could also telescope.
One day someone will want a boat exactly as designed :>).

It is for transport and storage. I'm not sure I understand why it removes the
benefits of telescoping(?) but anyway removable bows could be an answer :
what wouild be the length after ?
