This is a rare opportunity for a trimaran sailor. You’ve found a custom-built Kurt Hughes designed trimaran (extended to 46’ for additional cruising comfort) that has never been sailed. This trimaran has been carefully constructed from epoxy, foam, cedar strip, and carbon fiber over the course of a 5-year full-time build. She has an extremely well documented build history. You can view every stage of her construction. She has a Kurt Hughes designed rotating carbon fiber wing mast and integral carbon fiber chainplates. The rig is already in place and supported by Dyneema standing rigging. All of her running rigging and supporting deck hardware is bedded in place. The interior has been fitted out with all cabinetry, custom upholstery, 2 queen cabins, a separate head and shower with beautiful fixtures and surfaces. She’s been plumbed and wired. Her systems are ready-to-go - twin helms, outboard hiking seats, hardtop bimini, 500 watts of solar, 2 generators, ground tackle, electric windlass, shore power, charger. . . There is even a rough-in for a watermaker should you choose to add one. The outboards hang in their nacelles ready to propel her off the dock. The dinghy is even waiting on the tramps. Unfortunately this trimaran has been poised in suspended animation since her launch in 2019. Health forces sale. Won’t you introduce her to the world? She is in the Canadian Gulf Islands at the foot of the Inside Passage upwind and up current of the world’s best cruising. Just add the sails of your choosing (discounted quotes available). Bring your cruising dreams to life now. Email Matthew today for complete details and start cruising with speed, comfort, and style aboard a beautiful custom (and essentially new) trimaran.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
S&S design #2134.
An earlier version was called the NORTH STAR 80/20. Another built to his design was the SWIFT 40, built in KOREA.
