Re: New design performance catamarans are heavy - why is that?

Unless you have a giant family, I’m having a really hard time understanding our 50 foot plus Catamaran can be small in any way. These things...

That’ll be the day. Tell it to the metal workers. Ha ha ha. Months and months and months of talking about how next week will be great.

Re: New design performance catamarans are heavy - why is that?

I don’t think that’s what anyone is saying. I think what they are saying is if you are fancy and rich, you should be getting a gunboat, or a Chris White, or an Outremer or something. Because it...

Re: New design performance catamarans are heavy - why is that?

Exactly. That’s why I decided to build one in the first place.
