Posting this as a suggestion to Triumph.

There has been a long standing issue with hulls getting water into the inner hull. While the addition of the inner bilge drains are definately a move in the right direction, they can only allow for draining of water to a certain point. Hence many owners have added transom drains to remove this water from time to time. Anyone whom has completed this modification knows the dripping can go on for a long time (days if not weeks). So with the issue stated here is my potential solution.

During the manufacturing process, a drain tube running the length of the keel could be inserted. This would be sort of a reverse drain field pipe like those used in septic systems, of course on smaller scale. This tube would provide a place for any water to accumulate and if it is ported to a transom plug, it could be drained quickly.
