This trimaran is solid hull and needs a new home. It does have a few spots that need fiberlass repair, but nothing major. It can be launched from where it is with our equipment. Ready to sail away with sails that are like new! Owner has done many upgrades and this trimaran has great speed and handles extremely well. It has been sailed easily with 2 people, or load up with crew and friends! She could be rigged to be single handed if you have sailed trimarans before.

Needs: Interior needs cleaned and new cushions. The motor that was on the boat was underpowered (Evinurde 9.9 HP). It needs a longshaft to have better handling under power.

Sails were new and barely used. Stored clean and safe!
