Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Really nice. Good work.
I finally got Corazon out of the boat yard and into the sea. The first Mexican village I anchored in has a Jim Brown 40 already in residence. These boats are everywhere.

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

After posting I looked at my board. It would be easy to replace the lines on the 34. I'm glad I was able to score a 34. The 37 just seems like so much more boat and I'm not the waterman I used to...
