Seems like the boat might also be a good candidate for a 3ft / 1m transom extension too, to clean up the stern, add some waterline, and give you a nice swim platform there.

The ‘reading nook’ as the owner calls it is unique as far as I’ve seen. Has a pass through window to the
helm so I think the idea is that
skipper sleeps there and whoever is on watch can always wake them easily if they are needed. We will see how it ends up functioning but I like the idea and think it’s well executed.
I agree about the transom extensions, the thought has crossed my mind. I hope to own the boat for a long time so may be something I undertake a few years from now when I’m more confident about the design I would want. She has a masthead rig which is not typical for a catamaran these days so she does feel a bit different than the big
mainsail driven
boats I’ve been sailing, this difference in design should effect things in ways I don’t yet have a feel for.
The initial inquiry on this boat started 6 months ago so I have already had enough time to start overthinking everything
Thanks Gord, somehow I knew you were going to say that
Side note: I keep pulling older photos because all the ones I took with my
phone seem to be too large for the forum, I wonder if anyone knows an easy way to make them comply if working from an
iPhone.
