Good Life is a beautiful 36′ Norman Cross designed cruising trimaran built with the WEST SYSTEM. She was built under the personal tutelage of the designer during a time when he had commercial space in San Diego for builders.
Of all the boats Norman Cross designed, apparently this design was his favorite. The reason is because it achieved his vision for a trimaran with the perfect balance of roomy accommodations for live-aboards as well as sparkling performance for safe short-handed cruising.
PERFORMANCE: Good Life isnt a racing trimaran but she performs very nicely thanks to her overall lightweight, efficient hull design, fully battened Ullman mainsail, symmetrical center hull and highly efficient keel. And what about comfort? Well, I love sailing on anything, but compared to sailing at 7 knots on a speedy monohull where youll be heeling at a 45 degree angle and dodging spray as you bash your way through the waves, youll find that Good Life sails dry and close to level as her narrow hulls slice effortlessly through the chop. And then theres safety With those big wide decks surrounding you, she feels safe because she is safe. Youll really appreciate that security and comfort when you have young children, friends, family or pets aboard that are new to sailing. Comfort under sail translates to feeling a lot more relaxed after a day of sailing. Also, a huge and rarely discussed advantage to a well-designed multihull vs a monohull is that that youll be cruising along silently under sail in a zephyr instead of having to crank up the motor.
INTERIOR: Good Life has a brand NEW INTERIOR with 6’ PLUS PLUS headroom and includes new counter tops, new galley drawers, some new cabinets, new galley faucets, new foot pump, new varnish, new paint, new extremely durable top-of-the-line commercial grade carpet, LED lights, plus new never used sheets and bedspreads on both mattresses.
Please contact me for more info, photos and videos.
Equipment: Full equipment list is on my site but heres a partial list
-Ullman battened main sail with Ullman stackpack. -Ullman jib on Pro Fuel Titanium jib furler. (The clew extends aft of the mast about 4′ so I think it is considered to be a 120% jib.) -Two more light wind head sails with removable bow sprit. -12 bumpers / fenders. -Yamaha 4 cycle 9.9 hp outboard motor with electric start and extra extra long shaft mounted on sled. -One 12 volt 800 MCA starter battery for outboard motor. -Rulemate 1100 GPM bilge pump. One West Marine hand bilge pump. -Two 200 watt solar panels with Blue Sky Energy Boost 2512i MPPT solar charge controller (12 volts DC, 25 amps). -Four 12 volt DC house batteries (1 year old). -Ritchie and Sons helm pedestal steering wheel with compass. -Raymarine Auto Helm. -Garmin Chart Plotter. -Standard Horizon Matrix AIS GX2150 VHF radio. -Portable hand held West Marine VHF radio. -Inverter. -Seth Thomas barometer. -Two 110 volt AC shore power outlets. -Heavy duty shore power extension cord. -Boat hook. -Eight various life preservers. -Two fire extinguishers. -LED lights throughout interior. -Engel 12 volt DC fridge-freezer. -Gas stove. -Deep double stainless steel sink with new faucet with electric pump for sea water, plus new faucet with new foot pump for fresh water. -12 volt DC input plus two 12 volt DC USB ports. -One memory foam twin mattress plus one double mattress. Both include new never used sheets and comforters.
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)
