I took a picture of one of my charter cats in Cabo. Frank Rowden has been running this 46′ day cat for some 15 years. Thats a crowded harbor when the liners come in. http://www.cabosports.com/sailing/index.shtml

46 cat in a crowded harbor

Just back and catching up on everything. I’m making my way through 248 emails, after I weeded out the spam.

I had not yet seen the updated website for the 65′ , 100 passenger Alii Nui. This KHSD charter cat was built in foam/glass by Schooner Creek.
See http://www.aliinuimaui.com/maui-sailing.htm

One of the perks of the job is getting a visit from sailors of KHSD boats who rave about the boat. Brian Bell and crew stopped by today. Based in New Zealand, their cruising ground is the South Pacific.  Somebody has to do it. Beautiful boat.

I will be out of the office Feb. 19 through 26. I might not even have email.

The 50m oceanography catamaran design keeps going on. It has become a black hole for time. I think I can pull off of it for a while now. It does look pretty cool.

Congratulations.  The guys and a girl, Team Hallin, the trimaran rowing team using KHSD hull lines just arrived in Barbados to set a new world record across the Atlantic. See the arrival webcam at http://www.portstcharles.com/webcam_window.php?cam=3.

And http://www.teamhallin.co.uk/wp/ for the announcement.

For everybody who expected design work last week and didn’t see it. Here is why. I had my head down rushing to get this 50 meter sailing oceanography research vessel modeled. Client is Windhorse Lightships L3C.
