Description:
1980 Trismus 37 Long Beach, CA $9,900

The Trismus 37 is a unique offshore cruising design intended for sailors who want both ocean-crossing capability and shallow-water access. Its wide, shallow keel carries all of the lead plate ballast at the lowest point of the boat, while the large-capacity diesel and water tanks are completely enclosed within the keel. Combined with the traditional kick-up centerboard, this design provides excellent stability offshore while allowing exploration of shallow bays, anchorages, and coastal regions inaccessible to many deep-draft cruisers.
This boat is being offered at a project price and will appeal to knowledgeable sailors who appreciate the strengths of the Trismus design.

Known Needs:
--Volvo MD2B diesel is not currently running
--Bottom paint is due
--Standing rigging should be replaced
Because of these items, the boat is best suited for an experienced sailor, boatyard professional, or buyer looking for a serious cruising boat with restoration potential.
Asking Price: $9,900
Serious inquiries only.
