Congratulations on a very lovely boat! May you always have fair winds that are commensurate with your crew's abilities.

Thanks Puff, i'm chuffed to bits!
Just got to get her transported back East and we'll be good to go. Methinks I might hold off the winter layoff a bit this year.

James,
if not already in touch, try Old Harry of these forums ( and BORG ), and there's a good owners association.
Have fun !

If it is a long trip one would suggest to take it in easy stages until you get used to her manners and to what she can take. A normal minor service of the engine (oil, filters, belts, impellers, shaft seal etc.) might also be a good precaution. Enjoy!
Myself I have a very busy winter ahead with my newly acquired 'classic'. A labour of love.

I had heard that, definitely one of the reasons I liked the Trident. I shall be joining very shortly for sure!

I believe Des Sleightholme [JDS] had a Trident, named Tinker Liz ?

I own one in Portsmouth harbour - 1st season - no complaints but a bit of getting used to -
had a cracking time and with old sails and rig she sails great - not a slouch, not undercanvassed, good side decks - a proper yacht and well built and desgined. Makes me happy ...
the cabin is sort of airy and you can open the hatch in the forecabin and watch the stars -

The words "proper yacht" came up so much in my search when I was looking at her, it made my decision pretty easy, despite the fact that she's the other side of the country!
I also just love the solid feel and the way she looks, a real design classic.
Glad you're having fun Cloona, long may it last!
