A Whole Raft Of Pictures
These pictures came up in my memories. Most were on my previous phone, when the cloud only saved the camera library and none of the others. Some might have been posted here before, but you would have to go back a lot to find them. Good memories.
My 30′ cruising catamaran.
Remember the Time
This great picture of my 30′ cruising cat just came up in my feed. James and Emily sailed it extensively. CM developed plywood construction.
A Great Picture of My 42′ Cruising Cat
Located in SoCal. It gets used a lot there. CM developed plywood hull construction. A beautiful boat.
New 44′ Catamaran Design
I have just been given permission to release my new 44′ sailing catamaran design. It was based on my circumnavigating 42′ cat. With lots of improvements. It will be on the website soon. Foam/glass.

Grit Heads South
I got this nice picture from the owners of Grit, one of my heavily modified 45′ cruising cat designs. Heading South for the winter. Notice that the mast is now up.

Grit Launch
Paul started with the KHSD 45 cruising cat plans, but wanted some changes. I did a composite bow tube design for him.
I don’t recall being told it would be forward cockpit. The helm is indoors, which is always good.
Quemarla Has a New Home,
Back to it’s first home after a lap around the world.
Nice note from the new owner, Paul.

When Kurt Hughes designed this boat he really got it right. Tacking strongly into big Western Australia seas and wind. We are comfy and dry and pointing high biggest problem is trying to slow down. Thanks Kurt”
