Rapid-Construction Multihulls

42' Cruising Catamaran

42' developed-plywood cruising catamaran.
This 42' developed-plywood cruising catamaran continues to be very popular.  Paul's has gone almost around the world.  Around-the-world ocean racer Gerry Downton built one for  himself.  The low profile gives it much better windage than bridgedeck cats can deliver.  It thus goes better to windward.

Construction is the very rapid CM in plywood/epoxy.  This design has kick-up rudders and either boards or kick-up centerboards.

A 27' wide version is also available.  This design is very amenible to the KHSD rapid composite construction techniques also.
