130 Trimaran Freighter
I have been commissioned to design a 130′ trimaran freighter. Foam/glass. It will hold small containers. Roll on roll off. It will have lounging area for a dozen day passengers. Caribbean.
Boat in a Box
The 36′ BIB stuffed into a container.
A couple of pictures of Tunnel Vision
A couple of pictures of Tunnel Vision, my 42′ cruising cat in SoCal.
Elua has a new life
While in Oahu, I got to visit Elua (formerly Trilogy 2) thanks to Woody Brown (son of that Woody Brown).
A friend of his has it as a cruising boat now named Moana.
It was my first composite COI boat. In those days the USCG didn’t care if the builders followed the plans. Probably 1987.
A retired Australian metal worker told them that I was doing it wrong and they should do it the way Lock Crowther did it 15 years earlier.
Prior to this design I attended a great composites conference where Ron Reichard showed his OSTAR catamaran Fury, and how strong it was. I used his principles. I mentioned that.
The builder heard that Flury broke up at sea, and confused the two. He decided he didn’t want to build a boat that would break up. They followed the Australian.
Bob’s 34′ Power Cat
Bob sails his 34′ KHSD powercat on the north shore of Kauai, which the USCG considers the most extreme weather in the US. He does the Napali coast tours. He has to take the boat out of the water at the end of every tour as there is no safe moorage.
34′ x 12′. He has to come out on a narrow ramp. Foam/glass.
I Also Got To Visit Kolea
A much more recent KHSD COI cat. Originally built in Bellingham, WA and shipped to Hawaii. Big Island also. 36′ x 24′. CM plywood/epoxy.

Visiting Kamanu
I got to visit my first COI cat on Big Island of Hawaii.
1987 i think it was. Still carrying passengers every day. Looking good.
Visited Kai Oli Oli
I forgot to post about my 63′ daycharter power cat, Kai Oli Oli. I visited them December 3rd. I got to ride along when they practiced their man overboard drills. Oceanjoycruises.com/our-boat/
