Update: The day after we looked at Invictus someone else approach the seller and purchased her. If you are that person I would love to get in contact with you! Visit my contact page and shoot me an email.

Last night I went with my dear friend, Josh, to look at the sailing trimaran Invictus.

Invictus is a beautiful 41′ trimaran that used to be a fixture in the Puget Sound, Seattle area, sailboat racing circuit. At one time Invictus was the fastest sailboat on the sound. There was even a race honoring Invictus with her name.

Sadly Invictus has fallen on hard times in the past few years. Currently she is sitting on the hard with a huge hole in the starboard hull, and significant damage elsewhere the alone renders her unfloatable.

Invictus is a piece of Northwest history and I would love to see her restored to her former glory. To that end Josh and I visited her lastnight to inspect the damage. It looks bad but is nothing we could not handle. If we do not wind up acquiring her I hope someone else will pick her up and lovingly restore her!

I am posting some photos I took last night for anyone who remembers the old gal.

I am very interested in the history of this boat. If you have ever come into contact with her I would love to hear your stories in the comments below!
