Re: Anyone know the builder of Infos of this catamaran?

Thanks to Weavis for posting the photo; it reminds me a bit of a Kurt Hughes design, but I'm really reaching here.

I have looked at the listing a few times in the past year. What do you think. Does she sail?

What do you mean with "does she sail" ? It's a sailboat, so answer is yes.

Does she sail ok? I don't know.

Could be a very early Crowther. 38' or so.

I only helped get the photo to the moderator, so I'm not the OP...BUT she does indeed look like a Crowther. With d-boards and those fine entry hulls, she may not have lots of room down there, but my guess is that if she was light and has a nice sailplan, she could move right along. Imho...

I was thinking Simpson, as in Roger Simpson. Very few of his designs had dagger boards but the lines are very reminiscent of his boats. I really don't see a lot of Crowther in the lines but I could be wrong.

Factor, I think you are close to the mark. We built a 14 meter Simpson in the late 80's and looked at most of his designs before deciding. It is just a hunch but I think this might be a "bitsa". A builder perhaps has "borrowed" the features he likes from a couple of designers and drew them up. Amazing what you can do with some tracing paper and a table of offsets
