Dick Newick Trea 26 Just Listed

NEWICK: Seaworthy Speed, Strength and Simplicity.

Ideal for single or double handling. The centre cockpit incorporates ease of handling from mast to motor while offering the choice of protected sailing. The folding dodger connects to a removable bimini keeping out spray at 15kn and the blazing sun as desired.

The roller furling jib is self tacking and the roller furling reacher pulls out the stops for off wind speed. All sails are controlled from the cockpit.

On board heavies; water, fuel, batteries and people are all centred on the boat for optimum sailing. A tiller pilot handles her easily and efficiently except for heavy down wind conditions.

For coastal sailing the anchor is stowed on the prodder roller and deployed from the trampoline with the tiller and motor controls at hand. The pivoting centreboard and rudder swing up so that you can enjoy 50cm draft. For a peace of mind and avoiding damage, they both have simple release fuses in case of unexpected grounding.

There's an agreeable 2m single bunk in the forward cabin and a matching bunk in the aft cabin. At anchor the entire cockpit can be enclosed with side curtains to deter mozzies, rain and cold while providing a perfect 1.3 M by 2.1 M bed or sofa with 360° views.

She has a robust braked trailer and is easy to haul set up or demounted with all parts stowing neatly within a 2.5 meter width for easy road travel.

For the seller, this is the third Newick trimaran that he has owned. Now 88, he has sailed his own tris for 50 years with single-handed crossings of the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans on five occasions. This beauty is flowing with intention, care and all around performance. Great for for shoal and blue water cruising.
