I was privileged to tour Rosinante as she was being constructed and I must say I have never seen a finer trimaran. She is the result of the combined talents of Kurt Hughes and Robert Perry and was professionally constructed to the highest standards. To build her today would cost over $2 million. The carbon fiber used in her construction would cost over $500k alone. She was meticulously constructed and the result is a spectacular trimaran that has plied the waters from Washington to Alaska, to Hawaii, to the atolls of the central Pacific. Her current owner has sailed her over 5,000 blue water miles and reports that she is an exceptionally dry boat on all points of sail. She is also very well balanced and recently sailed for days with the autopilot off within 5 degrees of the rhumb line. Rosinante is indeed a magnificent steed for the adventures of a lifetime. If you are looking for a world cruising multihull, I urge you to read the full specifications of this very unique yacht. |

| Interior Layout and Amenities | |
| Rosinante
has enough volume in her main hull to provide very comfortable
accommodations and storage for her owners, crew and guests. There’s no
reason for her crew to suffer while blasting around the world, at
anchor in the Bahamas after a dash across the Florida Straits, or
plying the inside passage to Alaska. The interior is finished to a very
high standard with maple veneers, over Nomex honeycomb panels to
minimize weight, and solid maple and gloss varnished teak trim.
Sagastune latches and European hinges are fitted to all cabinets. Teak
and holy cabin soles are throughout except in head compartments where
molded fiberglass pans are used. The overhead is padded white vinyl
over removable panels. Ample halogen lights combined with abundant
hatches and ports keep the interior bright and airy during the day or
night. For colder climates a diesel-fired furnace and circulating water
heating system will help keep everyone warm and dry. The overall effect
is a very high-end, contemporary and elegant yacht. Starting forward is
the guest/crew head with gravuflush toilet, three mirrors, stainless
sink, faucet with-handheld shower, large overhead opening hatch,
polished chrome grab rails, and numerous storage lockers. Headroom is
6’ 4” in this space. Countertops are molded white fiberglass.
Next aft is the guest/crew cabin which can also be used as an office space. Over/under 6’ 6” long bunks are to starboard. When not needed, the upper bunk is hinged and folds up into the hull side. Two large, cedar-lined hanging lockers are forward on each side and fitted with automatic lights. Along the port side of this cabin is a desk with drawer storage below and overhead cabinets above. A contrasting burlwood blotter is inlaid in the desktop. The ship’s stereo, TV, and entertainment systems are located in these cabinets. Eight recessed halogen lights are fitted in the overhead. Headroom is 6’ 6” in this cabin.Up one small step to the crossbeam stateroom where 3’ 6” wide by 6’ 10” long bunks extend on each side into the crossbeams. Varnished teak ladders provide access to these bunks and curtains provide privacy. Eight storage cabinets are located beneath the bunks. Overhead are four halogen lights and there’s an opening port aft of each bunk. Up one step to the salon/galley where a raised dinette with red corduroy cushions is to port. A stunning, varnished teak-trimmed birdseye maple dining table will seat seven and has a fold down leaf. Beneath the settee and dinette is bin storage. Batteries and fuel and water tanks are located below the cabin sole along with additional storage. Along the starboard side is the galley with ample cabinetry, grey Corian counters, propane stove/oven, microwave oven, and stainless steel sink. To port of the companionway are a front opening refrigerator and top opening ice box along with a hanging locker. A removable drip/dust pan and teak grating are at the companionway ladder landing. Twelve recessed halogen lights provide illumination at night while four opening hull ports and two large overhead hatches will allow ventilation and natural lighting during the day. Headroom in this space is a generous 6’ 6”. Proceeding aft and to starboard of the companionway and one step down is the navigation station . A large hanging locker is outboard and forward while a smaller hanging locker is inboard. A colossal chart table measuring three feet by four feet will easily hold paper charts. Three drawers are beneath the chart table. Breaker panels and system monitors are flush mounted in a carbon fiber panel while sailing instruments and VHF are mounted in an overhead fidley board. Five halogen lights illuminate the chart table and an opening port into the cockpit side provides light, ventilation and communication with the helm. Inboard and aft of the nav station is the engine room door. On centerline beneath the cockpit sole is the cavernous, stand-up engine room. Immediately apparent is the ease of access and quality of systems installation. Forward and low is the Yanmar engine connected to the Max-prop through a straight propeller shaft. Webasto furnace, hot water heater, anchor windlass, and auxiliary pumps are outboard to port while the fuel management manifold is forward. Ample room is available in this space for installation of a genset if so desired. Three overhead lights and a deck prism illuminate this space while foil backed insulation contains noise and heat. The master stateroom is aft of the navigation station allowing for excellent privacy. Forward to starboard are mirror faced cabinets over a small counter/desk with contrasting, inlaid burlwood. The centerline berth measures four feet wide by six feet, six inches long and sandwiched between bookmatched maple sides with storage cabinets outboard and above. Forward and to port of the berth is a vanity with Corian counter, stainless steel sink, mirrors, and cabinets above and below. Ventilation and light are provided by two overhead hatches, two opening hull side ports and one fixed transom window. Headroom is 6’ 6”. The ensuite head is forward and to port and features a gravuflush head, separate shower stall with curved acrylic partition, five overhead halogen lights and storage cabinets. | |

| Hulls & Deck | |
| Hulls are painted with two coats of white Sterling linear polyurethane with a Copperpoxy bottom applied in the molds. This bottom finish is exceptionally smooth and provides antifouling for ten years or more. The tops of each ama, the main hull, and cross beams have a molded-in non-skid surface. Molded, recessed steps with stainless steel grab rails are aft and outboard in each ama for side-to boarding. Port and starboard amas are impressive both in their size and shape with their obvious purpose of providing buoancy induced righting moments with minimal hydronamic drag. Two foot wide by four foot long access hatches in the top of each ama are hinged and secured with flush, “Whitlock” winch handle operated dogs. These hatches are fitted with gutters and overboard drains to keep water out. Watertight compartments following sacrificial foam bows are forward in each ama with large storage areas admidships. A propane locker is located in the starboard ama while a work bench/storage cabinet is in the port ama. Connecting the amas to the main hull are the forward and aft cross beams. These complex-curved beams are sculpted art forms of structural and aerodynamic engineering. With Rosinante at rest both amas rest in the water keeping her from rocking back and forth in an annoying way as found on many high performance trimarans. With the slightest breeze, the windward ama lifts clear of the water reducing wetted surface and drag. Black, nylon web netting measuring 14’ by 20’ is secured between the amas, main hull, and cross beams on each side. This provides a safe, fun area for lounging or playing on each side. Forward in the main hull is a large storage locker fitted with a guttered and drained opening secured with a “Whitlock” dog. A stainless steel ladder provides access in this space. Inside this locker are an overhead light, 12 volt DC outlet, electric bilge pump with float switch, and fresh and salt water wash-down connections. On deck a large mold-in padeye, lined with stainless steel, is furthest forward and ideal for tacking asymmetric spinnakers. Next aft is a molded in toggle connection for tacking furling code-zero’s or screachers. This is followed by a large stainless steel mooring bit. Double lifelines are secured forward to a walk-through stainless steel bow pulpit and run aft on each side through stanchions to the forward crossbeams. Stainless steel hand rails run continuously on each side along the transom steps up and along the aft cross beam. A 6’ 6” long cockpit is protected by an acrylic windscreen. This amazing structure is built of five separate compound curved acrylic panels, each requiring a custom mold to build. The steering pedestal, engine control panel, and all primary sailing controls are located at the cockpit. Aft of the cockpit eight wide steps descend down the transom to the waters edge for easy dinghy, dock, or water access. A hold/cold fresh water shower is located on the transom. | |

| Sails and Rig | |
| Rosinante is rigged with an emphasis on simplicity, reliability, and ease of handling. Her single-spreader, carbon fiber wing mast rotates on a titanium ball and socket joint and towers 92’ above the water. Fractionally rigged with a self-tacking non-overlapping jib allows for effortless tacks and automatic depowering of the mainsail in puffs. Halyards are lead through stoppers to an electric, self-tailing Harken winch mounted on the starboard side of the mast. The full battened mainsail stows easily atop the carbon fiber boom fitted with four “wings” and Doyle Cradle Cover. Once the mainsail is hoisted all other controls including mainsheet and traveler, mast rotation, jib furling, jib sheet and traveler are led aft to the cockpit within easy reach of the helmsman. In fact Rosinante is capable of being sailed shorthanded or singlehanded. | |
