Paul
and Barbara sailing their 40' cylinder-molded catamaran around the world. |
This
line-up of multihulls has been given particular attention
toward ease of construction.
That
does not mean kludge vessels, with no upwind ability
and no grace in a seaway. It does mean putting my
and my builders' experience to work, using their tips
plus the best industrial processes combined in these
designs.
Remember
that boat plywood is already smooth, strong and easy
to bend fair. Most parts of most of these multihulls
are built with variations of stitch-and-glue construction.
Cylinder-molding
(in html) or cylinder-molded
(pdf) technology
is ideal for these projects.
Core
materials are used wherever possible to stiffen the
shapes.
These
designs provide superior multihulls with the least
amount of construction work.
