    Help please.
    Yesterday I was down at a marina here in St Augustin helping a friend with his powerboat. As I was walking down the dock this catamaran caught my attention. It appears to have an aft-mast rig something like that of a Prout, but much better stayed/rigged. Can someone help me ID it?

    I went down to that marina today to see own I might contact the owner, but the office was closed for Fri. I took some photos, but my camera decided to give up on its battery power before I could get better photos.
    Two nice size headsails, and a small mainsail with no traveler control.

    Reminds me of how I might have rigged my aft-mast design had the client insisted on a straight standing mast.

    Looks like one of the Solaris models.

    Yep, pretty Proutish, doesn't have the cabin aft look of the Solaris. Broadblue was the continued Prout range? I'll defer to the cat experts.

    I've come down with covid so feeling a little poorly for 4-5 days. I'll come back to this subject after I recover.

    Speaking aft rigged spars, and Florida cats, anyone remember that book the $6000 dollar catamaran (or similar title)? Multihulls magazine put it out, I believe.
