I have received several different opinions about whether the above foam would saturate in the long term if immersed in water. Do any of the members have...
Other than the Jarcat designs can you think of any costal camping cats that would offer quick trailering and overnight accomodations? I've seen a couple of...
G'day, Not quite in the Jarcat class as the accommodation is only usable at anchor, but you could have a look at the camping version of Elementarry on...
I've been following the progress of that design and especially like the tent design. I have thought that an easily set up tent design/dodger on a more...

Yes, definitely and also Richard Woods designs. He has a 22' plywood cat based on dory shaped hulls that might interest you. Gene ... From: donnahudgeon To:...
Hi everyone I want to rant a little about proper design for a multihull to take the beach. Surely one of the great advantages of a multihull is the ability to...

... Okay Carl, here they are: In the end, (and I'm talking about any routine, run-of-the-mill mishaps such as groundings while in unknown waters) there is only...
Fixable stuff? Nothing that was described is "fixable" in one day. I think Carl makes excellent points especially for multihull builders who can actually do...
... Carl asked for comments and I gave them as I saw fit. You don't have to like the comments and that's okay with me. Carl's question, by its very nature,...
I think Carl is right. Charter cats should be indistructable. The thang is and I mean thang is that no boat is good close to land . Multis were never...
Your comment is very much on target in that my reaction to my brother was to say next year we will check out the designs more carefully before we charter. Boy...

Yes I wondered if they were charging us for damage done by multiple injuries. The amount of damage really didnt seem to add up to the amount of bounce we made....

I thought Carl brought up great point on his last charter post. Why is there not standard and if there was. Where is the best location for dept sounder?...
Carl, I've never sailed on a Athena. We now know how it breaks but how did it sail? Moorings pretty much holds the standards on charter rentals with their...
I have for sale an unused set of plans for the K 24C (the 24' catamaran) if anyone is interested. Since I bought the Hirondelle and am rebuilding it I have no...
... Yes, nice looking. It's interesting to compare this boat and its sail plan and beam/length ratio compared to a 40' cruiser/racer as designed by Jim Antrim....
I think alot of the weight difference comes from Parker counting the payload in with the displacement. That's 2500 pounds right there. I doubt Antirm has...
... I doubt it's a nice rig. The mast will (and needs to) rotate further than the boom, thereby inducing extra twist in the mainsail. Besides , you can achieve...
