The Landings at Colony Wharf could be the last DIY boatyard that I know of. http://landingscolonywharf.com/
Mark at Colony proudly declares that. It’s in Bellingham, WA. My 36′ Boat in a Box was disassembled there. Several other multis have been and are there now.
I got this picture of the 36 x 24 daycharter cat put on the trailer and headed to Kona. Top shot is before bridgedeck is added. Lower picture is with bridgedeck added. It had to fit in the 8.5′ x 14′ limits for highway.
I got new pictures of the refit of my old tri Geko being done by Haiko in Rotterdam. E-glass and balsa core.
I have noticed that the CM construction manual had the stem unit pictures fall away and I did not notice it when I had Pagemaker open.
I will insert soon, but meanwhile here are a couple of good pictures of a stem unit from builder John Stames. He has sent also a raft of other great pictures that I will sort as soon as I get out from under the deadlines.
Brian left the snow country. Sorry but only on Face for now.

Clearly I am not intervening quickly enough to prevent this kind of mistake. It’s a Fontaine-Pajot Maryland 37 Trawler. It is intended for displacement speeds. Top speed is reported to be 15 knots with 140 HP per side. It is not only dragging transom, but a huge transom. I don’t know but it sure looks like a cat designed by single hull designers. Even a heavy powercat of the same size but correct hulls should do 20 knots with about 80 hp per side. I tried to make an intervention, but clearly am not famous enough.
As an update to my recent rant against forward cockpits( http://multihullblog.com/2014/12/forward-cockpit-2/), I find this.
Peter Johnstone “Fyi we advanced beyond the forward cockpit to something much better on the Gunboat 55….”
First run at a new 48 cruising cat using the Outsider 48 connectives. Flared hulls.
I almost forgot about this short video of Leila at Holo Holo Charters. The hulls were built rapid construction using a CM developed plywood female mold. In those days we surfaced the mold with epoxy and that presented some work finishing it. Now I would squirt it with Hi-Build only. Then wax and PVA. Quick and wonderful shape.
Once again video only lives on Face. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=953417014686587
I have to add one more. They have such nice pictures. USCG certified for 49 passengers.
