Its the first KHSD Dragonfly. 60′ in foam/glass. Cruising the Pacific.
A note from yesterday. “Back in SavuSavu after a 500 mile out and back to Futuna to restart our clearance into Fiji. Good sailing both directions and great hospitality in Futuna.
Futuna is a department of France and many of the men were wearing their flowered leis. ”
I can’t believe that I have not posted this anywhere before , but all my searches here have not turned up anything on it.
31′ by 28′ wide. Plywood carbon beams. Can be built demountable. The set is almost done. CM plywood/epoxy for rapid building.
Beginning the new 79′ Sierra Cloud design. Got a great picture of the original one at winter haul out. 27 years of service. CM developed plywood construction. 55 feet.
The second KHSD 65′ Ferry in Boxes is doing seatrials now on Lake Victoria. I saw some great assembly lakeside pictures that I will put together in the future.
The local Seattle formula 40 catamaran Dragonfly capsized during the Cow Bay Regatta. Not my design. It was originally from New Zealand and was originally named Simply the Best. It’s owner Pat is one of the best sailors I know. I hope to find out more soon, but I was told that it rolled over on a reach after stuffing into a kelp bed. It was a heavy air day. If it could happen to Pat, it could happen to anyone. I see the boat is on the hard in Everett, sans mast. Pic is on happier days.
One of my 65′ passenger ferries has been launched in Goa, India.
I assume it is foam/glass as that is what the company does. http://www.aquariusgoa.com/
