Twin 200hp outboards and only giving 17 knots implies to me its a big heavy boat. (Over 40ft over 8T??) So almost certainly semi displacement (or...
We didn't really need an echosounder in the Bahamas. We knew how deep it was by our speed. Without changing the throttles to speed would increase...
Most likely the water depth. If you tested it in Biscayne Bay then I'm not surprised you cannot get the speed on a semi displacement powercat. Its...
I don't think Evinrude make their own 4st's. Not sure who does. But I do know, as a Evinrude tech guy told me, that the 15etec is essentially the...
Russell, here are a few recent Skoota photos.... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] But its worse for those on shore especially in Marsh Harbour...
With respect, I imagine Russell has looked at that page. I certainly did when I was first designing low power catamarans. The catamarans listed...
I'm sorry I cannot help you as I never understand American units. Metric is so much easier! Publish your data in metric and I'm sure you'll get...
As you know, we lost Skoota in Dorian when it was stored ashore in the Abacos. The cabin was ripped off. It was strapped down but the deck ripped...
I would have used the Suzuki 20 efi on our Skoota had they been available when we built. so we used the Tohatsu 20s instead, conventional carbs....
That's a coincidence! For the last few weeks I have been trying to decide what our next boat should be. And I have now decided that a Chat 18...
We entered the 1983 Weymouth Speed Week in our 25ft Gwahir catamaran. Home built in plywood and still sailing. Probably the only people ever to...
There are a number of CAD programs that don't calculate catamaran hydrostatics properly so be careful when buying/using and check with supplier...
put a lump of cured epoxy in some styrene monomer and wait 24 hrs RW
no, the styrene in the polyester turns the epoxy to toffee RW
You could try the plan section at boatbuildercentral.com They may have something to offer you. Richard Woods of Woods Designs...
Thank you for your interest in my Gypsy design. A large number have been built over the years. It is a simple boat to build, nearly all flat...
Have you considered my Mirage 36 and Meander 40? Richard Woods of Woods Designs www.sailingcatamarans.com
I'd class my Strike 15 in the narrow hull category. And I'd suggest the Strike 20 as more suitable for you Richard Woods of Woods Designs...
thank you for all your efforts, a lot of work!
I have to agree, it looks horribly wet in flat water. I believe it sails in the Islemeer, so basically a lake about 10ft deep. Shunting from a...
