Am back from a trip that I had promised to do for the last two years. I did have laptop workstation with me, but ended up putting over 3000 miles on the car. I was beat at the end of every day.
I will be back in the thick of it next week, working on all your projects, and will open my CFR 46 for Mark.
My 63 trimaran Atlantis is on the block and up for auction I see. I got this.

Several people have noted that it lost it’s mast some time ago. I do recall that First owner declared his carbon fiber had double the modulus that I expected. My mast design was way over built in his estimation. His mast build failed. He never told me.
I’m on the road this week until the 31st.
I have the laptop with me and most of the files I need. And I get email.
After I get back I can catch everybody up, and go point by point with Mark Ganulin.
As though I have nothing better to do.
One of mine this time. People, contact me before you start cutting. I was not contacted with this one.
Having a walkway back can be a great idea. There does have to be a minimum amount of shear material, and the cap strips need to go far enough.
I’m not sure if Zeevonk always had the outboards, and if they were like that.
With the added material removal caused by the hatch there. it sure likes a failure waiting to happen.
If so I hope it happens close enough to shore to swim back.
I have been finishing up the new 45 cruising cat and that seems to be taking all my time. Almost have most of it done in time for the builder.
More here soon.
I try to send them same day, or as soon as I get back to the office, or on the road if I have everything with me.
Especially recently several people are not getting them. A week or two later they contact me to find out what happened. I try again and it works. What up?
Maybe when you order, email a backup email address to me.
And when Matthew gets back from his walkabout, I will see if we can strike the mailing address of the order process.
More Ulstein workboats intended to mitigate big waves with a better ride. Pacific Maritime Magazine.
Saw the afrorementioned Elua at rest in Lahaina harbor.
Looks pretty sharp for an almost 30 year old boat.
Divinycel, triaxial and epoxy. Uncommon back then. Probably my last hand drawn design.
Sitting here on the deck working at Kanapali (kanahaole I call it), when catamaran now called Elua transits my view. Far away but has the distinctive arched bow tube. It was my first COI cat on Maui. Guys visiting the build revised the structure, badly. 1987 I think it was designed.
The hull molds to the latest reverse bow 37/40 foot catamaran hulls are available at the very impressive Jim Betts boatyard.
I will find the rendering of the 3D model.
This is the mold to the top half of a hull.
