My 65′ power daycharter catamaran was recently photographed. They do amazing tours. You can snorkel among the fish and turtles.
My First Composite USCG Certified Catamaran
I think it was in 1987 that is did this design for Trilogy out of Lahaina.
First it was named Trilogy 2, then Elua, now is Moana.
I actually will be inspecting it next week.
My 35′ Power Trimaran
My 35′ power trimaran, built by legendary boat builder Andre Cocquyt. Foam/glass. Andre notes:
our trials got cut short due to hurricane Lee, the marina evacuated and it’s too late to put back in before the season ends per Oct. 1st. I saw 23.4 mph on the second test run. she likes to cruise happily and quietly around 3,400 rpm doing 14 mph. With engines in idle fwd, she does 6.5 mph. It will be interesting to see how she does next year with the trim mods and the swim platform.

Attended 2023 Wooden Boat Festival
Did the Port Townsend Wooden Boat festival. Mostly silverbacks attending.
I ran into legendary boat builder Sam Devlin. He was leading a designer forum in the afternoon.
When I showed up he told me to join him at the table.
I got to tell my story about how in the late 80s Seattle was a hotbed of marine design technology.
My 55’/57′ cruising catamaran.
This cruising cat was built in Vancouver BC some 30 years ago. Built with the rapid build CM technology. It is still out there doing it.
POWER TRIMARAN
My friend, brilliant designer and builder, built one of my power trimarans.
It looks wonderful. Especially when I stand back and look at it.
A pair of 50 HP, 4 cycle outboards pushes it at 24 knots. Sea trials were cancelled due to hurricane.
