I just got this picture and note from Ian Walker in western Australia. He writes “I have been the proud and happy owner of a 36ft Hughes cat forĀ 20 years. She is raced weekly for 9 months of the year then cruised around
the NW coast of Australia in the winter. She has covered several thousand
nautical miles, sometimes in atrocious conditions, including 1 night when
the wind exceeded 55 knots, and, to the credit of your design, has never
suffered structural failure.”
