A 90' Aluminum Charter Catamaran

An aluminum term charter catamaran.
I stand corrected.  I never thought David Vann would get it done.  See http://www.bestofbvi.com/crewed_yacht_charters/catamarans/paradiso.htm.

The design began as a 65', then everything had to be revised to be 79', then everything had to be revised to 85', then to 90'.  My calculations showed that the masts chosen would fail at less than 25 knots wind and the engines chosen would not push it into a breeze over 25 knots.  I got out of the job and gave it to another designer, including giving all my CADD files; just to be rid of it.  I'm sure the masts and engines have also been upgraded.  It looks good David.  It was an interesting exercise in creating CNC-ready design files.
