I got to visit my 49′ daycharter cat in Fort Lauderdale . Always one of my favorites. Met captain Jason.
Built mid 90’s by legendary builder, Andre Cocquyt as a composites class project. Students included IBEX presenter, Belle, Blanding.
Still looks good and can be built remotely from assembly.

I remember working a few evenings on this boat. Funny how it would be another 5 years before getting in touch with the GRP Guru himself. Self tacking Jib; not to fussy to sail, first experience with hydraulic steering too. Glad to see this here
