Was looking for specs for aluminum catamarans and found this NEW BUILD - Mumby 48 Performance Alloy Sailing Catamaran - SeaBoats...
There are pros and cons to every material. I personally like working with wood and plywood better than with foam and if I could use infusion to...
Yeah it is quality stuff and even quite durable in marine environment without any epoxy coating, My 9.5 m cat has deck platform made from it and...
Yes, generally plywood boats have more frames and stringers than foam glass boats. I think it is because it is easy to have thicker foam glass...
I think cost of plywood is very location dependent. Here I can buy locally made quality birch plywood suitable for marine use directly from...
Thanks, that's nice boat, will try to contact designer. With some modifications it could be developed into great minimalistic fast long range...
Nice boat. I'm a bit curious why there are so few similar boats in a bit bigger size range. If you have accommodation in hulls only then longer...

I made a quick model in Freeship to give better general idea of what kind of hull I'm looking for that would be simple to build. At the stern...
That's way too much of a boat for my needs. Building that complex bridgedeck would take a ton of hours. Also not buildable in my most likely site...
Yes, that's one option, although transporting that size catamaran especially if it is in one piece over the roads would be cost prohibitive, it...
Yeah, that Turissmo 10 scaled to 15 m and redesigned to be built in plywood epoxy to keep costs down would be ideal. I have built a cat that's...
