In late July I took my 12′ trimaran design to the small boat festival.
It was the only yellow boat there. And the lightest. It wasn’t really my crowd. All the other boats were heavy timber classics. While there I learned that small monohull guru, John Wellsford would be there.

My 48′ daycharter catamaran built by Pedigree Cats was launched June 6th 2024 at Raymond WA.
The boat was built for Woody Brown, son of the inventor of the Hawaiian beach cat. After sea trials it will sail to Hawaii.
It will be operating on Waikiki beach.
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.
I did this 79′ foam/glass daycharter for Ollie.
He escaped without making the last payment.
I am offering it to anyone who wants it.
Adventure Cat is going from a canvas house to a solid composite one,
I just got the youtube vid of an interview I gave a couple of weeks ago.

It had to be larger to carry the weight.
Foam/glass.
Woody Browns’s 48′ daycharter cat is moving right along at Pedigree Catamarans. The green if flat bagging table and the strip is the turn of the bilge and sheer.
Finished up and sent off to Buffalo NY, one 48×28 day charter catamaran. About 14 months with a crew of three plus an occasional fourth. Here are some pix – some text and vids to follow. Three sets of images, the crossbeams, the daggerboards and trunks, and the hulls.
