I worked up the first run at a new 30′ fishing cat for a customer here in PNW. Dead simple design and build. Double chine for rapid build with lots of payload. Ply/epoxy, with core as needed.
Sailing with Alex
I had the pleasure of sailing with Alex on his KHSD 45 cat with Aeroesque rig. It was a beautiful day on the bay outside of Blaine. Thank you Alex.
Back Monday
A couple of jobs went thug demanding first in line, one with a brace of insults. So I have been working late every night and the office the office has been basically closed this week.
Been quite a while since I have been bullied. As usual the office seems to cost more than it brings in so I have to keep at it.
I should have them completed by Monday.
65 Fishing Catamaran
I just finished the revision drawings for this unit to be built in Australia. Based on the 65 ferry cat.
CM plywood/epoxy.
New 79′ Powercat
this unit was only funded through schematics, but I went ahead and did a beginning 3D model anyway. There was no chance to trim the aft hull area and add the swim steps yet.
It went on hold for now.
12′ Trimaran
OK, I bought the boat. It should be in Seattle in late August. Its been great working with Gregg the owner. He wants to see it tied up at the lunar lander.

Still Scrambling, but Back Again

More Atlantis 63
I now have the surveyors report to go with my potential buyer package of plans and consultation.
Oops, Lost One More Day.
Yesterday, Monday, I was going to dive into the work for everybody. As soon as I got up I got a text informing me that my lunar lander dwelling had been engulfed in a wild fire overnight, but was probably OK. I had to speed over and see what was damaged.
I was amazed. It was fine. We did learn that epoxy is self extinguishing in tests for the USCG, but I didn’t really want to test it.
Am here in office working all month.
