WILDERNESS update for February 6, 2024:

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Sailorpete, I didn't intend to offend you, but this thread is, I believe, the longest running single topic one on CF. It is also a very specific subject, mostly aimed at Searunner trimarans, with...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

I can't say it enough! Working on an engine is SO MUCH EASIER when it's out of the boat. Lighting, ventilation, access, and fewer opportunities to hurt myself. And, having a skyhook (halyard and...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Status check: I pulled the engine out last week and have been disassembling the engine since then. So far, no nasty surprises, other than some surface rust and aluminum oxidation. I've done all...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Just put some Trash cans against the lifelines and fill with water. You may have to move some heavy gear to the opposite side. I've done it with the floats, but one day I might try it by beaching...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

It's been a good day. I labeled all the hoses (cooling, exhaust, fuel) and removed them from the engine. Same for the remote oil filter (I mounted a Fram Racing filter, vertically so it doesn't...

It's been a while, but I'm still at it. I've been working on the new rig and sails, but also moving forward towards hauling out. Yesterday I pulled the Yanmar 3GM30FW...

WILDERNESS update:

Cold weather, supply chain chaos and lethargy have slowed down progress, but not stopped it. Finally, the stackpack has arrived and been installed. It's a neat system, which...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Yes, Gruffa, I go over the old nonskid (which used silica sand as the grit) with the courses disks available for my vacuum sander. This knocks the sharp grit off the old paint and readies it for the...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

I think the most challenging part of doing an overhaul of a whole boat is understanding the concept of sequencing all the individual projects. If you don't take care to have each step planned out,...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

This morning I epoxied the deck coaming that prevents my port forward headsail furlers (seen in my recent photos early last week) from being a tripping hazard. Like the future dodger coamings, I use...

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Re: Trimaran - Especially Searunner - Owners

Still in the sailbag. I'm learning how to install the "torsion luff" and waiting for furler parts. As soon as I can hoist it I will submit photos. It is SO COOL! I'm also trying to finish some...
