creepy's back on the market


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know how she compares to a GBE in various weather? Strengths, weaknesses etc?

 

It's no secret I was in the market for a tri before buying the cat, and as she's going to need work anyway, there's a chance of increasing the cabin size a bit to make her more family friendly. There's also a trailer listed on TM which may be suitable, which would give me the package I wanted initially, ie. a trailable fast tri, with some basic accommodation.

 

Just asking, before I waste time and money heading out for a look if she's not even close to suitable.

not sure you could ever successfully make it family friendly 

 

without so much work you may as well make a niki cruz

 

or simply wait for a trailertri

 

will try and dig up the inside pics from old 'puter

There's a 8m design by Ray Kendrick, the Scarab 8 which looks awesome, but I have a sneaky feeling that family won't let me build a new boat. I've also designed my own, which ticks all the boxes, and should perform ok, but the same rule applies!

For the family - hard to go past this . . .

Creepy Crawler is a cool boat but you struggle to get anything like the room you need for you, the misus and 3 kids I reckon

Erm, what do you do with the main when that's up? 

 

How much harder it would be to hang the tent under the boom instead of over the top?

 

PS. it'll be 4 kids by summer cruise time!

a couple of years ago was looking at creepy with a view to buy and saved various hughes 24 and creepy pics

 

have put some in the site's "old multihull album" and linked to them here

 

but really you need to go see the boat

 

the last pic and video are of a modified hughes 24 called muffalo in italy

the muffalo design mods,  extra cabin, cockpit space, furling jib + assym

 

are what you really want for cruising

 

here's a muffalo video
