42' Norman Cross Trimaran

Well-Maintained One-Owner Cruising Trimaran

Here's a rare opportunity to own a beautifully crafted and meticulously maintained 2004 Custom Norman Cross 42 Trimaran, built by accomplished sailor and craftsman David Breheny. After successfully circumnavigating the globe aboard a trimaran, David brought the invaluable knowledge and experience gained from thousands of offshore miles into the design and construction of Solution. The result is a thoughtfully built vessel that reflects practical offshore capability, exceptional craftsmanship, and the proven performance of the Norman Cross trimaran design. She is currently located on Florida's Gulf Coast.

Designed for comfortable cruising, passagemaking, and liveaboard life, this vessel is turnkey and ready for her next adventure.
