A very well maintained Multi 23 with everything needed to go sailing. This example of the popular Multi 23 began its life in California, but was sailed mostly in fresh water on Lake Erie. Its present owner in Fort Lauderdale has sailed it no more than 3 times since purchasing it in 2016 but has looked after it very well and added some nice features.
General features: * designed by world-renowned multihull designers Van Petenghem and Prevost * vinyl ester/PVC foam core construction * solid glass construction below the waterline * high volume amas (floats) with massive reserve buoyancy forward * beam 15’ 6” * lightweight carbon beams with exceptional under wing clearance * aluminum rotating wing mast (33ft) * self-tacking jib * roller furling screacher * asymmetrical spinnaker on bowsprit * can be sailed or raced with only two; room for many more for pleasure sailing * demountable for trailering on the included road trailer

Background
The Multi 23 trimaran, conceived and designed by the legendary French designers Van Peteghem and Lauriot Prevost. VPLP Yacht Design is famous for their ORMA 60, MOD 70 and Ultime high performance ocean racing trimarans, and the around the world speed record machines such as Groupama and Banque Populaire.
Intended as a fast day racer, “Nice Pear” received an extensive professional refit in 2016/2017, in preparation for the Race to Alaska (R2AK), transforming it into a highly competitive Raid-style expedition boat, without sacrificing regatta performance (PHRFNW +3). The boat is extremely quick, upwind and down, but also very easy to sail fast thanks to the full bow sections in the floats, and substantial dihedral.
Sails
Mainsail, 2008, good condition, racing cloth upgrade Jib, Smyth, self tacking , racing cloth, excellent condition, new in 2015 Jib, older, self tacking, 2008, racing cloth upgrade, with Karver roller furling system Screacher, Ullman, 2010, very good condition, racing cloth upgrade with roller furling system Spinnaker, Elliot Pattison, very good condition, age circa 2010.
Mast and rigging
aluminum rotating wing mast (stock factory-supplied F-18 section) aluminum boom carbon fiber bowsprit grey trampolines in very good condition self tacking jib track four tiller extensions Harken and Karver hardware custom mast raising pole custom front mast support custom rear mast support several items of running rigging replaced recently
Instruments
Raymarine ST-1000+ tiller pilot 2 compasses, like new
Motor
2 HP Honda 4-cycle long (20”) shaft outboard motor, model BF2D, in very good condition lift up/down transom mount
Trailer
Road Trailer with lights form fitting cradles, custom built front mast support custom aluminum step to facilitate access to the boat when on the trailer
Miscellaneous
two fenders 3 PFDs 3 wetsuits in like new condition, 2 large, one extra large full cover for boat when on trailer Milwaukee power ratchet tool for assembly of boat
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)
