Ataroa Trimaran For Sale

Our Trimaran is presented for sale to the public. It is a 2007 Model with simple creature comforts, but well suited for those who want to spend their time sailing rather than at anchor or motoring around.

Comments from the boat designer Mark Kettering, who personally built and supervised the construction of this particular boat in China, then brought it to the USA and outfitted it with US Stainless hardware, as well as done some fixing of problem areas:
“The mast was made using pulltrusion.  This is a fantastic method of making a mast since it uses high temperature cured epoxy and the pulling keeps the unidirectional fibers in line and under tension when the mast is curing. I also personally tested the mast to make sure it meets specifications.”
