I declared that a tri would win the R2AK. That a cat couldn’t beat a tri in short-tacking through the islands. And the kelp excluded the use of foils.
A elderly looking M32 daycat with foils won that race. I stand corrected.

I just got this picture of Joel’s stretched 37 cruising cat being built up at Betts’ shop. The plug is covered with aluminum foil prior to applying mold release and laminating inner face. I have not seen this before. Layups should start in a week or so. I want to see this.
It looks like my 44 powercat design in Estonia might actually get launched this summer. I see from the wheeled luggage note that it was 6 years ago when I was last there. Foam/glass. Steyr hybrid engines. I will get more reports from the guys.

Walking in the beach along the Kanapali one recent morning and suddenly my 48′ catamaran design trilogy IV sped by.
