I think this is a new video of 64′ daycharter cat Holo Holo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGWwW8Uvbd0

Kauai.

The Landings at Colony Wharf could be the last DIY boatyard that I know of.  http://landingscolonywharf.com/

Mark at Colony proudly declares that.  It’s in Bellingham, WA.  My 36′ Boat in a Box was disassembled there.  Several other multis have been and are there now.

I got this picture of the 36 x 24 daycharter cat put on the trailer and headed to Kona.  Top shot is before bridgedeck is added.  Lower picture is with bridgedeck added.  It had to fit in the 8.5′ x 14′ limits for highway.

I got new pictures of the refit of my old tri Geko being done by Haiko in Rotterdam.  E-glass and balsa core.

I have noticed that the CM construction manual had the stem unit pictures fall away and I did not notice it when I had Pagemaker open.

I will insert soon, but meanwhile here are a couple of good pictures of a stem unit from builder John Stames.  He has sent also a raft of other great pictures that I will sort as soon as I get out from under the deadlines.

Brian left the snow country.  Sorry but only on Face for now.

Clearly I am not intervening quickly enough to prevent this kind of mistake.  It’s a Fontaine-Pajot Maryland 37 Trawler.  It is intended for displacement speeds.  Top speed is reported to be 15 knots with 140 HP per side.  It is not only dragging transom, but a huge transom.  I don’t know but it sure looks like a cat designed by single hull designers.   Even a heavy powercat of the same size but correct hulls should do 20 knots with about 80 hp per side.  I tried to make an intervention, but clearly am not famous enough. 

As an update to my recent rant against forward cockpits( http://multihullblog.com/2014/12/forward-cockpit-2/), I find this.

Peter Johnstone “Fyi we advanced beyond the forward cockpit to something much better on the Gunboat 55….”

First run at a new 48 cruising cat using the Outsider 48 connectives.  Flared hulls.

I almost forgot about this short video of Leila at Holo Holo Charters. The hulls were built rapid construction using a CM developed plywood female mold. In those days we surfaced the mold with epoxy and that presented some work finishing it. Now I would squirt it with Hi-Build only. Then wax and PVA.  Quick and wonderful shape.

  Once again video only lives on Face.  https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=953417014686587
