Looking for a Low-Cost Easy to build multihull sailing design

Kedku has not indicated what his budget is and how many years he is ready to put into the project. If he does a proper estimate, he will probably find it is not feasible. My best advice is to get a used boat and go sailing. You may like and then spending time and money is reasonable. Or, you may hate it and save a lot of money and effort.

........ Or, you may hate it and save a lot of money and effort.

I'm reminded of the bloke I met who was about 15 years into building a steel Roberts 53 mono. He had a bunch of rusty frames set up, partially plated. He had about 50 pages of drawings for the interior woodwork he was planning to do. I asked his wife how long she thought he would take to finish. Her reply: "He'll never finish it. He loves having a boat in the backyard, but he's scared of the sea."

That may be, but your not the OP, so…..
I’m just providing options, in my observations here builders like $150 plans V $1000 plans, it buys a lot of epoxy.
But that is not my call.

Yes!!!

to hard but watch him! Give good ides of $ + hours.

Eagle 24 good! Fish and chips good! Tri work but ok if you want to make that.

Can do it if you want to but hours and some $. YOU desid!

Hello Kekdu,

Have Fun, Michel

GOLDEN advice!
(my guess at the ratio boatbuilding projects started: finished by starting builder=1:10? )

My Buc24 is for sale and it's already built. I'm giving away my labor and most of the materials free, so it's a good deal for someone who wants to tinker with wood boats.

How far along is your project?
