Overview
About this vessel
Built to sail the oceans, this trimaran was designed and built by Walter Greene. One of five WG-35 trimarans constructed, four of which remain actively racing. Humdinger has a notable history of trans-Atlantic and Pacific crossings. An elegant design purpose-made for fast cruising over open waters, fully equipped with the best gear and ready to sail again.
Humdinger was originally designed and built for Donald Young and Shirley Weese in 1982. The couple sailed the boat across the Atlantic through five gales to reach the start of the 1982 Round Britain and Ireland Race at Plymouth, England. The race, for double-handed crews with four stops and a distance of about 1865 miles, saw them finish third in class (boats 30' to 35') and 13th overall in a fleet of 69 finishers. That same year, Humdinger was chartered to German sailor Klaus Schroat and raced under the name "Aspen" in the 1982 Route du Rhum, a French single-handed trans-Atlantic race, finishing in 23 days and 18 hours. Having completed the Route du Rhum, the boat qualifies for the French multihull organization the "Golden Oldies." In approximately the mid-1990s, the owners relocated to the Seattle area, shipping the boat overland. Russell Brown of Port Townsend, WA, rebuilt the boat including a new rotating mast designed by Roger Hatfield of Gold Coast Yachts. The boat was sailed in the 1998 Swiftsure Lightship Classic, taking 1st place in the multihull division. Humdinger was sold to Lawrence Olsen in 1999 and moved to San Francisco Bay, where it has been sailed in numerous crewed and single/double-handed events, including: 2010 Single-Handed Farallones 1st place Multihull division, 2011 SSS Longpac 2nd to finish behind the Class 40 "California Condor," 2011 Single-Handed Farallones 1st place Multihulls and Overall, and 2014 Pacific Cup 1st place Hokulea (Multihull) division. The boat was sailed back to San Francisco Bay from Oahu in 18 days, motoring only to enter the Golden Gate plus 4 hours in the Pacific High. Everything is up to date and she is ready to sail again. If you are into fast, big ocean cruising, this boat deserves a close look.
