Tshaw85 this sailing business model was actually first started in 1956 by James
Wharram. He convinced two sheilas to sail across the
Atlantic ocean in a home built 23 foot cat which he designed and built himself. Somewhere along the line it became a thing to have topless or naked woman on board a
Wharram cat. Some people claim that is to distract the
skipper from how badly they sail. But having done 9.5 knots on a
Pahi 42 I am not so sure.
James Wharram built a whole lifestyle on selling
catamaran plans. His cats are an acquired taste, but it just shows sex sells.
