6/30/2011 With 15 crew, we picked the the new cat up yesterday, set her on her side, and rolled her right way up. She looks great. Much work ahead to build the cockpit, cabin, and interior. But we have momentum.
Regarding previous poster's comments, #3 and #4 are not in operation. Building a wood cat from scratch is not a fast and simple build. We've been 9 months and 1,000 hours to date, and that is not counting engineering and chasing down parts and materials.
Similarly, this cat is not intended as a single-handed competitor, nor an offshore racer. She is designed as a trailerable, nearshore, performance cruiser with a good turn of speed and load carrying capability. Upwind, the cat may sail VMG similar to a Santana 22. Reaching, hopefully will plane with a Wylie Wabbit.
Downwind, an ALERION 28?
