QR Code Link to This Post
* Center hull from a Boston Waylor Supercat 20 (high volume hull).
* Outer hulls (amas) from a Nacra 17' catamaran.
* 28' mast.
* Crossbars are 1/8" thick, 4" diameter 6061 Aluminum.
* Dagger board approx. 5' long made with carbon fiber.
* Stainless steel shrouds.
* Custom made aramid fiber (Kevlar) sails from Eric Taylor in Port Angeles. They alone cost over $3k.
* Fully battened, fathead main sail with 2 reef points.
* Self-tacking, furling jib.
* Wishbone boom, no need for a vang. Much safer since a boom can't hit you in the head when jibing.
* Retractable, reinforced rudder from a Supercat 20.
* Floats in very shallow water.
* 4 built-in drink holders with drain holes
* Registration recently renewed. No title, but I've applied for one.
Stuff done this season:
* New bottom paint and touch up of other paint.
* Trampolines re-sewn/re-stitched
* Compass added
* Folding chairs refurbished with new cloth and pads
Includes:
* A dolly used for rolling up into the yard
* Sail cover
* Folding chairs
* PFDs
* Bumpers
* 2 anchors
* Mooring buoy with chain and rope
No trailer is included. You'd need to dismantle it to haul it away on land. I recommend you sail it to where you want it. It resides in Liberty Bay Poulsbo in front of my house and floats when there's at least a plus 4' high tide. This boat once had hydrofoils and smaller amas as shown here:

There currently is no mount for an outboard. However I have additional stainless steel straps used to bolt the crossbars to the center hull. You could make an outboard mount with them.
