TRIMARAN - 31' JIM BROWN SEARUNNER

This is an opportunity to have a quality built trimaran sailboat with just a few months rather than several years of work. We built then lived on this boat for eight years and sailed it during summers on the British Columbia coast. In 1980 we got jobs overseas so we put it in covered storage on San Juan Island where it has been ever since then. We always planned to put it back in the water but now the realities of age and health will require that we part ways with this old friend that took us on so many adventures. This is the A-Frame (open wing) version (the same model that Jim Brown built for himself) The boat was built with the best of materials - Marine Mahogany plywood. - Vertical grain spruce. - Epoxy saturated fiberglass sheathing. The boat was built for simplicity, you will need to add any bells and whistles you might want. It is set up for outboard not inboard power although everything is in place to install an inboard if desired (we wouldn't, it just complicates things!) It comes with a set of sails (main, staysail and genoa) built by Northwind Sails back in the day. They are in good condition and been stored in inside heated storage. It is also equipped with quality Barient winches. What it will need: The decks refinished with nonskid. Exterior paint if you're fussy about looks (the original paint job was excellent but is now old) Bottom paint. I would think of this as a completed boat, built with quality materials and no structural issues that would benefit from having the exterior cosmetics refinished (paint and nonskid) The boat is sitting on a strongly built cradle which is sitting on a trailer. It is possible the trailer might no longer be reliable after having sat so long so the cradle may have to be jacked up and placed on a trailer of your own for transport. The amas (out hulls) are on a separate trailer. The boat will need to be moved from its current location. We trailered it from Seattle to San Juan Island with a standard pickup truck. The boat is located on San Juan Island, WA Our asking price price is less than the cost of the materials to build it in the 1970's and way less than the materials would cost today! We just want someone to love it again. We look forward to hearing from you if this "unique" situation sounds of interest to you.
