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.
This great picture of my 30′ cruising cat just came up in my feed. James and Emily sailed it extensively. CM developed plywood construction.
Located in SoCal. It gets used a lot there. CM developed plywood hull construction. A beautiful boat.
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.
my first 45′ cat design, with a video of their trip back from Hawaii.

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. Voyaging under power on a beautiful day. Amazing finish inside and out.
link fixed now I think.

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.
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”
I’m finally able to start updating the very successful 45 cruising cat plans. Some of the recent performance cruising cats that I have seen look like they intend that looking good is more important than being usable.
It will still have full headroom, excellent shorthanding ability and cruising usability.
It does have a hotter sail plan keeping with trending now.
The plans are available at the old price until the study plan set of the update is available.
