Egg Nog (sometimes Egg Nog I) was a trimaran sailboat designed and built by Victor Tchetchet in New York City in the early 1950s, after his late 1940s vessel T26 and before Egg Nog II.[1]

Egg Nog was faster in lighter airs than its predecessor, T26, and was considered the best (fastest) multihull during summer competitions on the US east coast in 1955.[1]

Together, Tchetchet's vessels were notable for helping to reintroduce multihull sailboats to the western world.[1]
