We intend to use it for cruising and require all the attributes for this of course. We are definitely not looking for a floating palace, we live simply and intend continuing to do so.
Does anyone have any experience with these ?
An associated question is regarding the daggerboards. I read so many comments on problems with them for cruising with buildup of etc. Is this a real problem or are there simple processes to use to avoid this issue?
Thanks in advance. | | | | | 06-04-2012, 15:29 | | Boat: Multihulls - cats and Tris
| , really good, wonderful performance and quite good cruise-ability. A mate has one, wins open ocean races and then loads the up at the finish and goes cruising for a few weeks. I can put you in touch with him if you like. | | | | | 06-04-2012, 15:57 | | Boat: 50ft powercat, light,long and low powered

This particular vessel was very impressive in light air.
If building, do a step extension at the start, though I believe the newer designs may already have this drawn in.

Mark assisted me with my of an 11.1 out of Phuket. He then undertook a full for me. We are currently appreciating his with a week on Moreton Bay.
If you talk to Mark about your requirements you will receive nothing but honest .
One day if we can afford it I would like the Sengigi! | | | | | 14-04-2012, 03:49 | | Boat: Multihulls - cats and Tris

This would remove much of the detail needed and create a fine Cat or ?
For years I have not been able to find plans that would guide me in this process. Or indicate if this idea is even feasable?
Has anyone out there considered this - or know if this is possible? Advisable?
| | | | | 14-04-2012, 14:19 | | | | | 14-04-2012, 16:27 | | | | | I always thought that a good way to ceate a fine Cat or Trimaran would be to buy two (3) used sail boats, remove the Keels - redesign the hulls and attach the hulls with beams. | | 15-04-2012, 01:23 | | | | vessels out there. But so expensive ! - Rightfully so !!!
