Economy Multihull Cruisers

27' Demountable Catamaran.

A 27' Catamaran built with plywood/epoxy in CM.

This 27' catamaran is designed to be easily built and offers great performance.  The stock plans call for aluminum tube beams. Boards, deep rudders and a rotating rig help give superior pointing and maneuvering.  Originally, it was one of my earliest designs.  It was years ahead of its time.  Still, it is being updated all the time.

Spica, shown above was built with plywood connectives. She cruises the Mediterranean.
