    I'm looking for information on Eric Leruoge designs. I'm interested on a Maia 125 (40') catamaran and I would like to know if the boat has a good reputation.

    Eric's designs

    Eric has been in the business a very long time and his cat "Haro" won the world speed trials (for its class) at Brest, back in the 70s. He has a ton of designs, have met him and like everything he does........ I am biased...... because I wanted to build a replica of his "Haro" here in the states (he wouldn't give up the design) and am currently getting a design for an 18' cat from him.

    ps I'll try to round up more info on his awards and customer feedback "cause" that would be good for me to know too!

    pfc,
    Did he give any reason for not selling Haro plans? She is a beautiful boat. Do you have any photos...other than the one on his website?
