Trimaran

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. -Mark Twain

Scottsdale Code Enforcement

Well, we got a notice from the city that we could not keep the trimaran there unless it was licensed, registered and fully operational. Well, the trailer is licensed with permanent plates (if I can just find where I put the license plate.)and the trimaran has no engine, so it is a non-motorized watercraft. And according to the Arizona Game and Fish Department that registers watercraft in Arizona, any watercraft that is non-motorized is not required to be registered. But then there is the "fully operational" thing. So, I have rented a space at the Tempe RV storage lot on Hardy and Warner for $55.00 per month. I'll keep it there for four months and then just bring it back. Hopefully, by then I'll have the amas worked out and the mast step resolved. Maybe even the rudder. Then it will be operational.
So, . . . this weekend, I need to replace one tire on the trailer and install the support rails so that I can drag the thing down to the storage lot.
Maybe this is a good thing as it will spur me to get back to work on the boat.
