Hello Group Members,
This is an update to a post that has appeared in a number of multihull groups and forums regarding plans for the 18' Malibu Outrigger.
For the handful of people looking for the plans; they can be acquired by sending a $50.00 check (USD), payable to “Malibu Yacht Club” to:
John Abel
20494 Royalstone Drive
Malibu, CA 90265
The $50 dollar still goes toward the rent expenses of the yacht club, which inhabits a tiny house on the beach. The history is Warren Seaman, designer of the Malibu Outrigger, donated the plans in 1955 to the newly formed yacht club to pay the rent for a slice of beach to store the boats. If anyone has seen any pictures of Malibu from the 40's to 60's, you'll know how popular these boats were. They were even featured in the June '58 issue of Popular Mechanics!
Currently, there are a few boats still active with the club; mostly Darts and Hobies. And for all you enthusiasts, Wayne Mort has original drawings by Warren Seaman for a 25 foot version. Let me know if you are interested and I can try to get those copied either by Wayne or Warren for a nominal fee. There are no plans available for the 12 foot version.
Aloha,
Frank
