Condition report from seller:
May 2005 - I found on my recent trip that the wooden main boom has some rot and will need to be replaced. It is still in one piece and can be sued as a model to build a new one. Most of the fittings can be reused on a new boom. There are some stainless fittings on board to replace some of the plastic parts, so this is not too major of a repair.

Cluttered main salon.

I also found several spots on deck where the fiberglass had cracked and let a small amount of water to seep into the wood below the crack. Small spots of the wood have rotted in those locations. To repair just those spots should not be major, however, in a worst-case scenario, a new owner may want to add a new layer of glass over much of the deck after repairing the wood.

I did not have time to do these repairs, but I did get someone to put temporary fiberglass patches on all the cracks that could be found to prevent further damage. I think only one spot might need to be repaired before extensive sailing. The others could be put off until convenient.

Having been built by a shipwright, I believe the vessel is structurally better than average for trimarans.
