Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Epoxy is very particular about ratios. For small amounts of epoxy, I use this:

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Agree about modified Horstman. Bows, sterns, and flush deck all say Horstman. No visible daggerboards, mast, outboard shrouds all say something else.

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

I had a friend planning to build a Marples. He was going to harvest the trees, season the wood, make his own veneers all before starting the build. He drew the line at planting the seeds. Needless to...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

In the photo you're reaching. I hope that's not where you're trying to start your tack. I see the staysail is set as well, so hopefully that photo is not where we're starting.

In the breeze shown,...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

There have been a lot of great multihulls and sailors out of BC over the years. I'd love to attend some of these events (Gulf Islands are wonderful), but it will be a few years before my boat makes...
