Race to Alaska Boat Design

Ahhhh, "coffin-like", I can relate to that feeling at 16" interior beam, up to my mid-torso anyway making for ample elbow room.

 

I took this video yesterday

Felix is a 24ft x 10 ft lightweight catamaran beautifully built in prepreg carbon/nomex by Brandon Davis of Turnpoint Design in Port Townsend. Brandon will shortly be racing it, for the third time, in the Race to Alaska.

Although this is a sailing race anything human powered is allowed. Brandon designed a great pedal powered propellor system, which gives an incredible top speed of 5 knots.
