I often see what I think is bad design being foisted onto the inexperienced.  And I call them out.  Sometimes I see designs that look good to me.  The new Dragonfly looks pretty good to me.  Finally amas that are big enough.  A snakey look. Flowing beams.  And of course the required aft swept bows.  I assume they also have improved on the single stainless pin swings in favor of a composite bushing?

If I may,  all the same features that I put in my 31′ swing arm tri 10 years ago, less the swept bows.

I finally heard back from Karen on the Sarabi.  “The conclusion is that the top bearing was attached to the mast with a material that failed, causing the bearing to move, which caused the mast to fail just above the bearing.  Thankfully, no one was hurt. Everything above the cabin top went overboard. Cosmetic damage to the boat, but nothing serious. She’s very strong!”

It still seems kind of impossible, even with a failed bearing.  I have begged for pictures of the damage.

I can’t believe it took me so long to get this unit up there. Competitor called it “the queen of the fleet” there in Maui.  Foam/glass.  http://www.multihulldesigns.com/designs_other/65chcat3.htm

I see the aspect ratio got mucked up for the large size pic.  Fixed.
