One Hull of a Trimaran we named "The Survivor." This ship is 85 feet LOA and 35 feet beam. A cabin on the cross deck was 30'x30' and livable when we launched SURVIVOR 31 Mar, 1985. It left the Oakland-Alameda estuary under the power of its 200 h.p. diesel auxiliary. It was designed to sail, and maybe it eventually did.
