Searail 19 Buyer's Guide
The SeaRail 19 is a 19-foot trailerable trimaran with a folding beam system that brings it from a 14 foot 6 inch sailing platform down to under 7 feet on the road. Built with a PVC foam-core, vacuum-bagged structure, it weighs about 700 pounds laden and tows at 1,100 pounds, which puts it within reach of modest tow vehicles. For a shopper scanning the United States brokerage market, the appeal is a genuine multihull that one or two people can launch in minutes rather than a marina-kept cruiser.
Layouts on the Used Market
Every example shares the same core configuration: a central hull with a lockable watertight companionway hatch and a V-storage or single berth below anchor. The beam folds via the standard on-the-water-folding system, and the float assemblies are light enough that owners report two people handle the fold and unfold easily. Because the boat was built to cater to day sailors, resort users, and camper sailors, you should not expect a developed interior; the used market reflects the original minimal layout rather than converted cruising trims.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market the spinnaker and asymmetric spinnaker are commonly fitted, extending downwind performance beyond the standard 278-square-foot kite anchor. The self-tacking jib is also a common factory fitting, paired with the Harken headsail furler and Ronstan hardware. Beyond those sail-handling items, most boats carry the standard aluminum rig, mast raising system, and galvanized cradle with wheels. A buyer should focus on the rig and trailering package as the consequential equipment clusters; lesser comforts are secondary on a boat this size.
What to Inspect
The one documented concern is the U.S. distributor's report that the leeward float was an issue on the test boat, prompting a recommendation not to sail it until resolved anchor. On any candidate, inspect the leeward float structure and its attachment to the folding beam closely. Also confirm the watertight companionway hatch seals, since the standard boat relies on it to keep the central hull dry when folded or parked.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These trimarans are found in the United States market. For a buyer, the short checklist is: verify the leeward float condition and beam-fold hardware, confirm the mast raising system and cradle are complete, and check the watertight hatch. A sound example delivers a uniquely portable multihull with a quick setup and a genuinely low towing weight.
