This
37' cruising catamaran intended to go into
production but it never happened. It is composite
construction with tiraxial roving and foam
core. This design combines a spacious interior
with quite good performance. The flared hulls
allow an interior that feels expansive, but
the cat still has a slender waterplane.
That helps performance.
Find
full headroom in both the bridgedeck and the
hulls. The hulls are up to 68" (1.72
m) wide inside.
Unlike
many less serious cruising cats, all the controls
are easily reached from the helm. The helm
is raised to provide visibility in all directions.
The kickup rudders and deep boards give superb
pointing ability, yet the cat can be easily
beached. It is shown with the standard rig.
A light weather rig is also available.
A
total of 5 different interior arrangements
were created. Two are shown below, with part
of a third one.
The
house, bulkheads, and all horizontal surfaces
are created on a flat glassing table for rapid
construction.
