Richard’s office for now.  Pretty cool.  My 63 cat design.

So much to post today. And deadlines.
More tomorrow.

You can participate in crowd sourcing the form of the underwater profile of the water.
I recall that Andy Smith was doing that on the KHSD 65 ferry catamaran in Uganda.

Maybe the first cat done by Seattleite Paul Bieker? I was told that the design fee was over $100,000. And I have to fight to try to justify every dollar in a fee.
If I may, they will learn that the flat bow tube can break off when the bow slaps down hard in big waves.  And I bet it does a lot of aquarium-mode when it crosses a Pacific harbor bar.
In a line or two, it looks like a Shuttleworth that was smacked with a Polynesian stick, and had a pickers shack was dropped in the middle. But its all carbon don’t forget. I guess the foils get pulled up when they come to the kelp beds.
With a design fee that big, I can be snarky if I want to.

Some shots of the alloy motor mounts on James’ 30′ cruising cat.

More pictures and notes from Tahiti on the Courage Winter family and their 55′ +- cruising cat.   Durakore and epoxy.  Again,

An updated picture of the demountable tube cat 30.

I thought I had posted this many months ago but a search does not show it. So if I did, here again.

CSR just got this box of goodies. Solid carbon fiber AC45 foils. They go on Chaak? I told Tim they should fold up some quick CM plywood/epoxy cat hulls, with as much carbon as they can afford, and build a drag racer.

Now I know why the my friends at CSR Marine always seem so motivated. When they done painting boats, they paint each other. Solstice parade.
