Tnt34 (The New Trimaran 34)

This boat has sailed Baltic and Med. Sea .It was nominated as Yacht of the Year in Europe in 2012/13.

Since 2014 it is a Pacific boat as it came in the container.
It is fast as cruiser so we race as well.
Pdfs below show new folding system as sliding and pivoting system has unique advantages. Enjoy and see you out there, Jerzy

Geoff Fenwick

Dear BCMS Members,

It is with sadness that we write to inform you of the passing of Geoffrey Beck Fenwick on January 30th in Vancouver. Geoff was the builder and Captain of ‘Amelia’, 31 ft. Sea Runner Trimaran, 1981-1998. He was an active member of BCMS in the 1980s and 1990s.

Geoff’s passion for sailing was the reason he moved to Vancouver in 1978. Amelia was built from 1979 til launch in 1981 in the backyard of our home in Deep Cove. We spent almost 17 years cruising in the BC waters and Puget Sound, enjoying the BCMS gatherings and spending many hours in the Barns of BCMS Boat builders in the early 1980s. Geoff and family cruised in the South Pacific on ‘Pearl’ with David Dexter, fulfilling his dream of offshore cruising. Those days filled some of Geoff’s most pleasant memories. As his Parkinson’s disease started to progress, sailing became more difficult but his love for the ocean never subsided.

Geoff is survived and will be missed by his wife Iris, daughter Joanne (Dean), Tracy (Rolando), and grandchildren Sadie, Holden, Felix, and Samuel. There will be a celebration of Geoff’s life held at Deep Cove Yacht Club on Thursday Feb 4th at 2pm at Deep Cove Yacht Club.

Please feel free to share any stories or memories of Geoff. Does anyone have any information about ‘Amelia’s’ whereabouts? We read she was meant to go offshore in 2006?

Permanent magnet motors

From our offshore days I have some low rpm permanent motors for wind and/or trolling generators. They range in price from $200 to $50.
The one in the center of the photo provided all of our charging needs for most of a circumnavigation producing 10 amps in trade winds as a wind generator and 8 to 10 amps with 8 knots of boat speed as a trolling generator.
We also have a 28′ diameter parachute sea anchor for which we will be asking $800.
