Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Guys, what are the big difference in interior layouts & space between the 37’ & the 40’er? Especially in terms of dinette options in the stern?As the Searunner builder’s manual states that the stern...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Thanks guys. Little that I don't already practice, & have since I was a kid. And, yeah, the "serving sizes" on those freeze dried meals is laughable.

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

I've never quite been able to figure out the numbers given for Searunner loadouts. Since with my 31', when fitted with basic sails, minimal ground tackle, a few duffles full of gear, & at most a...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Like the dinghy mount. My 31' had something similar. Which is a really nice feature, since on most cruising boats, a spot for stowing the dink definitely IS NOT part of the designer's thought...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

You might look at the windshields on some of the powerboats out there. Ones at the large end of the trailerable range. As their cockpits are likely to be about the same width as the cockpit on that...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

In watching the video, several incongruities come to light.
~ Initially, when going downwind, as the video opens, he’s in a good 12kts of breeze, minimum, as seen by the prevalence of whitecaps, in...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

w32honu, To answer your Bruce Number question, a 37's is 1.2 when they're empty (as is the case with most of the boats). And if you go to the Outrig Media website, you can find more information on...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

I'm not trying to take away from Searunners, I'd definitely have another one. But I'd make some changes to her. Hull wise, & rig wise. As so much of cruising takes place in light air. Meaning, in...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Most fairly "stick" to the water in the really light stuff. And a good part of that is due to their short rigs. As the stock masts are but a few feet longer than the boats. Whereas on low/mid...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Nope, can't say that I've ever had a truck like that. During that era, I had my favorite 2-door, low slung, go faster (sports car).

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

I haven't been in that area for a number of years, but yes, the multihull community is a small one.
I first met Bob Dixon after rebuilding my Searunner 31', as at the time I was berthed next to the...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

On G10, actually, it's density is only 2/3 that of aluminum - www.matweb.com (https://www.matweb.com) And given that often enough, it's strength's on par with aluminum... that's why it caught on...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

On SR masts, would you gent's be kind enough to throw out some numbers for cross section dimensions, as well as Ixx & Iyy numbers, for the tubes on SeaRunner 37's & 40's, please.

Also, has anyone...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

I've been a G10 fan (for mast steps) for many a decade. Strength's on par with Aluminum (in the good stuff), but no corrosion to deal with. Which can be an issue with steps, seeing as how they're at...
