Cruising Multihulls

30' Cruising Catamaran

30' cruising catamaran in developed plywood.

Imagine a 30' cruising catamaran with full standing headroom in the hulls, but is aerodynamic enough to give great windward performance. Notice down below there are two large double berths and more. The hulls strike a nice balance between payload and performance.

Construction is the very rapid CM plywood/epoxy technology. A composite version is also offered. Rotating mast and deep boards help it climb to windward.

The plans may be boomless or with a boom. See construction pictures of one built in Alaska by Jim Dory at http://www.dorydesign.com/boat.html
