Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Great photos Sea Otter Jim. Looks like you are powering along in one of them. The difference with using large foresails is huge i take it. Can you single hand with these spinnakers.???

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

The Searunner can take a few sails in bags because of the arma's but how many friggin sails does one need. I think a staysail is a must. I will keep mine on the furler which doesn't work it's jammed...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

I understand all that but it still doesn't help my workload or pretty much anything in my living life. Maybe when I die it will become useful.

Re: Anyone not in lockdown and still able to sail?

I just cannot get over how people don't get it. Its the measure I suppose of the human race. New Zealanders luckily can see they can live in their own bubble. They realise that its worth the effort...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Good point Roy.
This 37 SR was the best self steering I have seen. But I don't think I got enough detail in these pics.

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Yes wouldn't that be a great project. If only we lived a longer life. Time is precious we need to sail away. Often you hear about the build is just too much for people and the dream fades away.

I thought he mentioned the price somewhere. Maybe it was in the boat classifieds section. Not sure. I cannot remember. Mark would know. His SR34 is possible the best of them. You could try to message...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

You can search Corazon maybe and find some of his previous posts. I think he changed all his rigging to spectra. It was a nice SR34. Somebody should know where it went too.

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Important to get this very clear.
My Searunner 37 doesn't hobby horse it boogies meaning it goes nicely through wave action. If you know how to present them they will go anywhere.
