We have come up with two very sound multihull designs,
(plywood of course) the first a little 8’ wide gem for
overnighting, the second a very cheap to build large
performer from 4mm ply. For those not too familiar
with multis, they don’t heel, can be used as caravans
... the hull shapes are rectangular so nearly twice as
much space as a mono ... also you must be aware of
the escalation of ply prices recently; so, when a large
cat can be easily built from 4mm marine ply you have to
look at it. The first of our babies is a smaller version of
the Saylon 20’ catamaran. The Chat 18’ is 8’ wide.
