Trimaran ‘Good Life’ is For *Sale

Click here to see more photos

LOCATION: Good Life is on a mooring in beautiful San Diego Harbor, San Diego, California.

DESIGN: Good Life is an especially beautiful 36′ Norman Cross designed cruising trimaran . She is one of the few rare Cross trimarans that was built under the personal supervision of the designer during a time when he had a commercial lot in San Diego that he rented out space to for builders of his designs.

DESIGNERS FAVORITE: Of all the many boats Norman Cross designed, apparently this was one of his favorite designs. 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 and safe cruising.

PERFORMANCE: Good Life isn’t a racing trimaran but she performs nicely thanks to her overall lightweight, efficient hull design, fully battened Ullman mainsail, symmetrical hulls 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 you’ll be heeling at a 45 degree angle and dodging spray as you bash your way through the waves, you’ll find that Good Life sails dry and close to level as her narrow hulls slice effortlessly through the chop. And then there’s safety…   With those big wide decks surrounding you, she feels safe because she is safe.  You’ll really appreciate that security and comfort when you have young children, friends, family or pets aboard. 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 you’ll be cruising along silently under sail in a zephyr  instead of having to crank up the motor.

SAILS: Good Life has a fully battened Ullman mainsail with 3 reef points and a 135% Ullman jib on roller furling. Both sails are in excellent condition as they have had very little use since being built in 2017 and that will be obvious when you see them. (Two more light wind head sails are included as well as a removable bow sprit.) The mainsail when not in use is protected from the elements by a custom made Ullman stackpack. Unlike the usual cover for a mainsail that must be removed to raise the main, a stackpack has the zipper on the top and stays on the boom at all times. So, instead of your mainsail falling on the deck when you drop it, it’s life changing to see the main nestle itself inside the stackpack. Another huge advantage for a stackpack is safety because it makes reefing infinitely easier, and especially when sailing singlehanded.  This was my first boat with a stackpack and I can not emphasize enough how practical and efficient a stackpack is.

AUXILLIARY POWER: A 9.9 hp Yamaha High Thrust 4 cycle outboard motor with extra long shaft and electric start is mounted on a sled.  The sled protects the motor from being swamped and also enables the propellor to run as deep as possible for power and to avoid cavitation in rough seas. At only half throttle you can expect speeds of 5 to 6 knots.  The 9.9 hp Yamaha outboard is legendary for having a well deserved reputation for reliability and fuel efficiency. And this one starts instantly and quietly purrs like a 4 cycle should.  This outboard  also has very low hours, because again, Good Life sails nicely in very little wind.  ( Click here to learn why an outboard on a sled can be a great option on a lightweight multihull .)

INTERIOR: Good Life has a brand new interior with 6’++ 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. Even if you have zero interest in cruising the seven seas, Good Life could very inexpensively be your comfortable floating apartment or weekend hideaway with the beautiful backdrop of downtown San Diego behind you.

NAV STATION: Walking down the companionway steps to starboard is a large nav station with VHF/AIS radio, portable VHF radio, 110 volt AC shore power outlets, 12 volt DC outlets with USB ports, a barometer and huge counter space (new countertops) for charts or preparing food, etc. There is also a highly energy efficient Engel 12 volt fridge/freezer.

GALLEY: To port is the galley with new countertop, deep double stainless steel sink with one new foot pump for the fresh water faucet and one electric pump for the salt water faucet. There is also a 110 volt AC shore power outlet and an ON/OFF switch for the inverter as well as tons of storage in the cabinets, shelves and drawers.

WING BERTHS: There are two huge double berth size spaces over both wings with large storage aft of each berth. A twin memory foam mattress is to port and a double mattress to starboard. Both mattresses are very comfortable and include brand new never used sheets and bedspreads/comforters.

DINETTE: To port is a spacious L shaped dinette  (with new epoxy surface) and storage below.

HEAD: Entering the head there’s an opening hatch above, stainless steel sink with electric pump to a fresh water faucet with storage above and below and a simple compost toilet.

V-BERTH: There’s a very large and spacious V berth forward that can easily accommodate two adults with storage below. At the foot of the V berth is a large bin for the anchor chain.

ENERGY: Aft of the companion way steps and the shelving behind those steps (under the cockpit), there’s a large bin that holds four 12 volt DC house batteries. These batteries are charged by two 150 watt solar panels with MPPT charge controller. In the compartment aft of the cockpit there is one 12 volt DC battery for starting the outboard motor.

ELECTRONICS: Auto helm, Garmin chart plotter, Standard Horizon VHF radio with AIS, West Marine portable VHF radio.
