    Looks like a Wharram cat. Saw a few of these deep in Mexico in the 90s. Usually crewed by youngsters having a great time.

    Yes, that's a Wharram, with the Poly flair of the bow and stern, and after loading 4 pages, I didn't get it.

    Bataan, Sabahcat seems to think a 24/27'cat won't carry much Tuna, what do you think? Richard or Ray around about Skoota of Slider?

    I'm no engineer, but I know a couple canoes can get over a ton of cargo. That's more beer than I'll ever drink. Granted, it probably wont do for a full size double door fridge and freezerin the galley, tub in the head and a king size water bed. :D

    I was impressed with the maximum use they made of this little open craft-- quite well planned and comfortable and certainly impressive open water work.-- An ideal machine for an ideal trip--Geo.

    A yacht is not defined by the vessel but by the care and love of her owner.
