The drawings are here. At the bottom of the pictures I guess.
The 63′ half built trimaran has gotten a price reduction. Now $145,000. Keep in mind that the Rapido 60 will start at $1.79 million, and the 63′ will be much more. On this unit, the hulls are all built. Only the cross arms need to be finished.
If needed to be trucked a long way, one can cut down the centerline, and repaired with DB 1708.
It is located in Marysville, WA.
This unfinished 63′ KHSD trimaran has been put up for sale. It is in Marysville, WA. The hulls are completed, along with at least one beam web. It comes with more than enough fabric and epoxy to finish it. As well as a motor.
The hulls can be trailed to wherever.
Seller wants $200,000 for the project. It would cost at least half a million to build it to this stage. Email me at khughes@multihulldesigns.com to get the build plans.

One of my 48′ daycharter catamarans is for sale on Long Island. It is a sister ship (PAE) to the legendary Spirit of Fort Lauderdale. Composite, 49 pax. I just got triaxial glass bending strength data. 84K psi bending strength. The builder did a superb job. It should have its COI this June.
$600,000
One of my 40′ catamarans is for sale. It is a lengthened 37.

Seller wants $150,000. He reminded me that is about the materials cost alone. The shell is almost done. The back face of the aft cross arm and the transom are already built.
The construction is excellent. Vacuum bagging and peel ply on everything.
It is about 150 yards from the salt water so can be moved on its own bottom with very little work.
Alex needs to sell his boat.

It was called “the highest quality owner built boat that I have ever seen. A fine boat and a fine man.”
This is a new 44’ powercat design by Kurt. It is simple, elegant, and perhaps the most bang-for-the-buck design I’ve seen. Kurt estimates displacement at 2550 kg/5600 lbs, which i suppose indicates the boat dry would be 4000 lbs and change. This would be a very easily driven hull. 2x 50-60hp outboards should be sufficient to go fast, and the mpg is going to be spectacular. Twin 40 gal tanks should give a range of 400-1000+ miles depending on conditions and how fast you want to go. Beam as designed fits in 18’/5.5m for docking, but could (should) be increased to 22′ -24′.
I am a professional boat builder and this is a boat I would love to build. A client of mine has commissioned these plans from Kurt and a detailed construction spreadsheet from me. At the moment they are unsure whether they wish to proceed with this design. Plans might be available at a discounted price. If you are interested, we are available to build this boat during the coming winter in Sarasota, Florida. If you are in Asia we can arrange to build this in the Philippines. Drop me an email at matthewhreynolds@gmail.com or text/call 1.941.323.5122.

I thought it looked familiar. It needs the ama design update. http://sarasota.craigslist.org/boa/5792085107.html
I see that the Choy catamaran ImiLoa is for sale. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/CATAMARAN-SAILBOAT-43-CSK-Rudy-Choy-Design-ImiLoa-/232058125191?hash=item3607bdfb87:g:HnEAAOSwj2dXj8UL#viTabs_0
ImiLoa was kind of famous here in the PNW back in the old days. First, let me explain who Larry Christensen is. Back in the 60s he designed and built a 37′ trimaran that was years ahead of it’s time. Invictius had a huge dagger board, was wide, and had big amas way out there. And it was rigged to excel upwind, for its time. Unlike the famous Atlantic ocean trimaran designers who were using 3 strand halyards and had huge forestay sag, back then.
Larry basically schooled a whole generation of builders and sailors here in the PNW, including me. And he did every race he could, including a couple of Transpacs. Am doing this from memory. Anyone actually knows more, do share.
So ImiLoa came to the PNW to do the Swiftsure. They were bragging that they were going to clean everybody’s clock, including Larrys. “Wait,” Larry said, ” You are telling me that you don’t have boards on that boat?” “No.” “You won’t even finish on the same day that I do.” They didn’t.
I see on the specifications and the boat, that it has boards now. Larry must have taken them to school also. Does anyone recall what year that was?
