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.

Nice Pictures of My 37′ Trimaran
This 37′ trimaran is one of my earliest. It was completely before CADD.
10m power cat update
At the end of 2018 I posted a power cat hull build. Upon completion of the two hulls, they were picked up by the owners and taken home to Maine to build the crossbeams and cockpit, as well as fit engines, electrical, etc. I’m happy to report that the resulting boat looks spectacular, and the owner/builders say that the shakedown cruise went well, with a smooth dry 20 knots. stock props.

Net Systems Trampoline Nets
From fish expo. Net systems for multihull nets. I used on Geko more than 20 years ago. I prefer these knotless nets in any situation where walking barefoot is not done.
They are experienced with catamarans and can set up the edges for a perimeter line. Ask for Xzalivar.
