Layout & Accommodations

She is a center-cockpit trimaran with forward nets between the bows, storage for sails and lightweight gear in the amas, and interior accommodations divided between an aft sterncastle and a forecabin.  The sterncastle is the heart of the boat with its convertible dinette making into a large owner's double.  You can literally sit up in this berth at night and have a 300 degree view of the anchorage.  No need to climb on deck to check holding and a beautiful view when settled in for a meal.  Meals are readily prepared in the large galley with separate dinette nook.  Beneath the dinette nook is the engine access - and excellent access it is.  The well cared for 30 hp diesel has only 2000 hours.  Up in the cockpit you will find oversized primary winches, extra dedicated winches for trimming running rigging, mast winches for raising halyards.  More winches for ease of handling than any other Searunner I've seen with everything safely adjustable from the cockpit.  Forward are two double wing bunks and the head and vanity as well as forepeak stowage and 300' of chain in the rode locker.  Everything is clean, cared for, and well thought out.

Specifications & Equipment

Hull & Deck

She is assembled with frame and stringer construction, sheathed in Marine plywood, all parts coated with at least two coats of WEST System epoxy.  The entire exterior is covered with fiberglass.

The plywood used was from a special run done by US Plywood. The plywood has outer veneers of dense mahogany and inner veneers of fir, and no interior voids.  Most of topside structure is built of seven-ply 3/8″; the underwater 45-degree panels below the chine (corner) are ½” plywood, and the bottom is ¾” plywood (all from the same mahogany / fir run from US Plywood).

Deck - Astec Finish Coat 900, new in 2007

Centerboard, centerboard trunk, minikeel

Seafire was constructed with a widened centerboard trunk by 3/8″ to accommodate any potential swelling, and assembled the minikeel from laminations of marine plywood rather than lumber.  Additionally, the builder glassed the entire minikeel in multiple laminations of tri-axial fiberglass to eliminate any potential for water intrusion.

Hard dodger - Marine plywood, coated in epoxy, exterior sheathed in fiberglass.

Steering system- Wheel with cable steering

Engine & mechanical

Engine - Yanmar 3GM30, 2000 hours, installed in 1996.

Engine oil changed consistently every 50 hrs, or every fall and spring, whichever is sooner.

Power sources

Solar panels - 192 watts in total; all panels are amorphous (unbreakable); 2 – Unisolar US-64′s, 2 – Unisolar US-32′s.  With regulator.

Wind generator - Rutland; selected because of low-noise characteristics (wind generator is located immediately over skipper’s bunk and main dinette).  With regulator.

Engine alternator - Standard 55-amp alternator but with external regulator (originally had a high-output alternator but it turned out not to be necessary).

Spare alternator - Same.

Seller's Note: during our five-year cruise, we rarely used Seafire’s engine to charge the batteries because the solar and wind systems were able to keep the batteries charged.
