This is a large, rugged, practical foam core Cross 42/44. She was constructed over 12 years by her Seller. Most Cross trimarans are constructed of cold molded double-diagonal plywood saturated in resin and sheathed in fiberglass and are slowly giving way to the ravages of time. A very few later builds were constructed with Airex and Klegecell foam coring instead of double-diagonal plywood. This is a foam core Cross 42.

A very few later builds were constructed with Airex and Klegecell foam coring instead of double-diagonal plywood. This is a foam core Cross 42. Desire to 'get out there' got the best of the Seller/Builder after 12 years of construction and so he skipped hundreds of hours of fairing - thus the rugged description. This is not a shiny trimaran. She did prove capable though and was enjoyed on a 2-year voyage round the Pacific Gyre - Vancouver to Puerto Vallarta to Brisbane and then back via Hawaii. For the past several years she has been home in the Gulf Islands of BC. If you are looking for an inexpensive spacious trimaran that can carry you across oceans you might be Home Free.
