I got this picture that said it is one of my cats, for sale.
I can’t really tell what design it is. Maybe a 42 with dog house?
Anyone know?
Latitude 38 Magazine Sold
I always thought it was the best sailing magazine in the world. Even in newsprint, many issues were keepers. Especially Lee Helm.
Then Richard built one of my 63 cats and has sailed it more than any 10 normal people. And he does amazing things with it.
I understand that it will keep on much the same.

Plastics Guide
Online Metals oddly has one of the nicest plastics surveys I’ve seen. I keep bugging them to carry G-10, but not yet. They do have a GPO 3 which sounds similar to G-10.. I will have to get some and see.

I’ve been modeling and producing shop drawings for this little unit for several years now. it looks like they might be in production soon. The idea is to be as simple to operate as possible for beginners. More details as I learn them.
Congress and the USCG 2016

I am a big believer in how a congressman can change the USCG after how in the early 90s I worked with Rep. John Miller to get the USCG to adopt a design rule. A few days later the second in command at the USCG MSC was in my office. We got a rule for catamarans. I think the story is here in the blog somewhere from long ago.

Tom’s 36 Cat in Rotterdam
Foam/glass. Reverse bows. There will be many more progress pictures. He is an experienced builder so it should go fast.
T Shirt Update
Guys, thanks for the positive response.
Slammed with deadlines right now but will soon track down a reliable way to make them instead of me and an iron. Also have to find a wholesale shirt seller. Soon.
Hanging with Richard Woods at the Wooden Boat Festival
He did ask if this would be on the multihull blog. It wasn’t really a wood as an engineering material festival, so why not hang out with Woods instead?
Attempt At KHSD Tee Shirt
I did make this company tee shirt for the Wooden Boat Festival. On black. Turned out pretty good. Is there any interest in these?
I tried photographing the actual shirt, but the camera could not figure out what to focus on and always blurred.
