The name Cuan Law reflects owners and designers, Duncan and Annie Muirhead's Scottish heritage. "Cuan" is the Scottish-Gaelic word for ocean and "Law" means mountain. Cuan Law with her towering white sails appears to be a snowy mountaintop rising from the ocean. The Cuan Law was built in Canada and she and her sister ship Lammer Law in the Galapagos Islands are the world's largest sailing trimarans, built for cruising.
