A performance sailing catamaran designed for comfortable cruising, and club racing. The hulls feature forward raked bows for wave piercing, and chine rails to reduce spray at speed. The boat is hard chine for economical construction in plywood or foam sandwich. The boat can be demounted for trailing.

Inside there are berths for up to six, with two cosy double berths aft. There is a galley to port and head area to starboard. The central hinged pop tops connect to a deck tent, which opens the boat up at anchor. The central pod can be used as a saloon, which also houses the outboard engine.

Rig options include a conventional 3/4 sloop rig, or twin cantilevered masts out of each hull, as shown. The mainsail(s) are square topped, and are boom-less for crew safety.
