18:21 Final Thoughts...
This isn’t just any sailboat…it’s BoatFools’ first multihull! And what a beauty. Meet IF, a custom-built 2018 John Marples 40’ Fast Cruiser Trimaran—designed for bluewater sailing and built to turn heads and get into thin water.
With sleek Constant Camber construction (think spaceship engineering for the high seas) and liveaboard accommodations, IF is light, strong, and FAST. Professionally built at Paul Rollins’ shop, she launched in 2019 and has been turning monohull sailors into multihull believers ever since.
Canadian Ken and I were left grinning ear to ear. From her Mack sails to her epoxy composite hulls, this Marples trimaran is ready to stretch her legs offshore.
Whether you’re looking to cruise the world or just cruise from Maine to the Caribbean, IF delivers.
Highlights:
✅ 717 sq. ft. sail area with room to grow (add a Code 0 and blast!)
✅ WEST System epoxy cold-molded construction
✅ Dyneema nets + rigging (just the running backstays), Anderson winches, Sparcraft spars
✅ Garmin electronics suite with AIS & Iridium GO| Diesel engine with low hours!
✅ Double aft cabin + watermaker + solar (370W)
✅ Launched 2019—she’s turn-key and ready to fly
Curious? Drop a comment: Would YOU go multihull? Or are you a monohull forever sailor?
