Dear Shipmates
Introduction
The yacht is currently at her home port of Humboldt Bay, California. The boat is a classic, elegant, comfortable, bulletproof, 55’ trimaran fully outfitted for extended cruising. She was built by a master craftsman over a twenty year period. I have owned her for thirty five years and cruised between British Columbia, Panama, and Hawaii (50,000+ miles) as I have taken my retirement in installments.
DETAILED boat specifications/equipment information/photos and more specific crew requirements are available on request.
About the boat, the plans, and current crew
usually cleancomfortableluxuriousvery safevery spaciousshare experienceseek adventureface challenges
The boat sails very well, but not fast by multi-hull standards---50% of wind speed up to 10 knots. Range under power 1000+ miles at 6 knots. And, she is extremely comfortable in most seas and at anchor.
I AM owner/captain, 77 years old, good health, strong, 60+ years maritime experience, retired professional, old hippy.
