    Has anyone built the CASA CAT a trailable catamaran that folds tom 6'6' for trailering then expands to 12.5 for both motoring and sailing. Plans seem a bit high. I was looking for some info on the build and handling characteristics. Any info would be appreciated.

    I've seen the site before.

    When the site was launched the boat hadn't been sailed. That was two years ago and no updates since then

    If it was a successful design you would expect the designer to tell the world how well it sailed

    My guess is that is the only one ever built. It is also a very heavy boat for its length

    Thanks for the reply. It looked interesting. I did find some additional ino on buidacat.com If you haven't visited this site it might be worth a look.

    What’s formula for estimating catamaran speed? Speed from length better than from design?
