In an effort not to be only a "list lurker" here's a bit of an introduction from my side. I've built a 45' long wooden Roger Simpson designed sailing catamaran more then 18 years ago and helped my father building his 42' long James Wharram designed Pahi sailing cat also in that period. I have just commissioned 6 days ago a new design, this time a 43' long power cat which I plan to built again by my own. My designer, Morten Olesen from www.boatplans.dk, has already started working. The cat, this time a multi chine design, will be built in Plywood/Epoxy. So I hope to collect as much information's from this list as possible. Jochen
