Pluse One!!!! Don't go away!
Why 8-10 passengers? Licensing and inspection issues are minimal for up to 6. Big commitments once you go over that. In which case, going for...
Doood. Sounds to me like I was reinforcing that and giving good reasons. No bursting going on here. Follow your dreams, laddy!
Trailerable is over rated unless it can be towed behind today's small cars and hybrids. The Katama/Menemsha is a pretty boat but way too heavy to...
Well put! It may seem seaworthy but you won't enjoy spending much time on it. I'd far rather have a comfy cockpit than an ultimate storm...
Personally, I'm leaning more and more in favor of low tech. i.e. lug, either standing/balanced etc. But that's not the discussion. so. Can we...
In my experience (primarily with a bridgedeck mounted generator, noise and vibration are accentuated with a bridgedeck mount. Also, great care...
The beauty of the single engine in one hull is that you can counter it in the other with batteries or a generator. Believe me, I think it's a...
I've long considered this concept but have been unable to really decide whether I'd really, really do that. My 41' cat handles pretty well on one...

For a period of time, the bad guys will still have fast power boats AND the last time I checked, most fiberglass hulls were pretty ineffective at...
I can confirm that while they 'produce their own stuff' perhaps, it's still produced in China. That's where the tracking for my MacBook Pro...
Just a couple a thoughts.... As a sailing multihull owner, I've learned that running on one engine in a multihull is just fine. Give me a bow...
The only other potential issue with angled daggerboards is to keep that angle minimal enought so that when in the 'up' position, the top of the...
Must have been quite a thrill for those condomaran sailors! The incredible speed of these big boys must be an awesome experience. i'd love to...
I usually put the rocker clear of the wall and lampstand and close enough to the fire to keep warm but not singe my socks...
It's actually been in Roche Harbor on San Juan island. I gave it a cursory peek a month or two ago. It's definitely oriented towards performance...
Bob Oram is also an advocate of a single rudder on one side only. Might be better than a central rudder. Central rudders are both surface...
Okay, I'll bite but first a couple questions. Why 29'? Not 28, not 30 but gotta be 29.... why? Why a central rudder? Btw, Chris White...
