A Trimaran Sails the Seven Seas

By Jerry Heutink

Latitudes & Attitudes, September 2003:

“Although trimarans are not as popular as cats or monohulls, trimaran sailors are a breed apart. Here is the story of one man’s journey all over the Atlantic on a tri that he built, and then sailed to all the ports he had ever dreamed of. A very good narrative of what one will find out there, and how it looks from a tri.”

Excerpted from Midwest Book Review, May 2001:

“Jerry Heutink, builder and captain of the 46-foot trimaran TRILLIUM II, is also a master storyteller with a natural gift for crafting a travelogue replete with tales of adventure, pleasure, and danger. A Trimaran Sails the Seven Seas is the story of his cruise that ranged from the midsummer night's sun of northern waters to the breathtaking beauty of sunsets in the tropics. Here recounted are the challenges of the North Sea, Atlantic, Mediterranean, West Indies, and the Far East waters. From a killer wave in the Bermuda Triangle to the winds of the Bay of Biscay, A Trimaran Sails the Seven Seas is exciting, fun, and informative reading ideal for the armchair traveler and nautical buff.”
