Variant 2 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I like it I have a bunch of questions. What is the new LOA? and where did you get your beams? What will you do about road transport for it, demount? Mostly asking because I want to have a larger catamaran someday but still keep it trailerable. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

I put new J boards in on Wednesday, and i think she had that much lift that we pushed the beam through the deck!!Back to the workshop to find wot happened and found no strength under beam. She will be back on the water soon! Again! Link to post Share on other sites
