Some parts, eg boards, rudders, spars, can come
from large beach cats (ie Hobie 18 or larger). The rig
shown is the optional racing rig which is only suitable
for experienced sailors in lightwind areas. Smaller rigs
are available, see the study plan
Now, we design all our craft to be easy to build,
perform well, and not make
much of a dent in the family
budget.
I am convinced you can’t build
a better performing boat, and
it is very cheap, light, and I
am sure Mum and Dad and
two small children will be quite
comfortable overnighting.
You also have to remember
the extremely light weight and also I would not like to
waste the cockpit area for further accommodation.
Most of our cats are flat bottom with a wedged bow,
for great, stable speed.
Surely someone out there can come up with an
expandable trailer or extendable crossarms,(AKAs)
and wow, another winning design.
Price of plans in Australia is $349 downloaded,
including our now famous VOUCHER for discount for
life on all parts for this boat, when you choose to buy
from ‘All Boat Kits’.
I reckon without a special trailer or some other
arrangement two hours will see you happily sailing
away.
But you are all a bit smarter than us so once again
contact us for a chat ... remember, this 21’ Acorn is
sooo cheap!I would rate this boat at four out of five due to delays
at the ramp, or am I being too cautious?
Please call or email ‘cos I am a lonely old bloke and
love to talk boats.
This catamaran will really hit the spot and I am
convinced is the boat we have all been waiting for ...
very nearly a five out of five rating.
See you on the water, Barrie
