Re my professional background: I have been involved in yacht designing for approx. 30 years, working in various studios and in different parts of the world, I have had my own practice for 10 years and have been almost exclusively designing power and sailing cats for that time. Before setting up on my own I had worked with a couple of other multihull designers so my cat design experience goes back about 18 years. We are a small outfit (me and one other) situated over a river in Auckland, and we offer a very thorough and professional design service. The policy here is to listen to what clients want rather than tell them what I think they want and to keep an open mind when considering the wishes and desires of the client. We get a wide variety of work ranging across the whole spectrum of hull type, styles, and performance which makes life interesting and a challenge from time to time! I did not set out to become a cat specialist, quite the contrary in fact, but it now seems that we must accept the inevitable which is not a situation that worries me much, happy to get the work and happy to be busy doing it. I am looking fwd to being involved with Powercatamaranworld.com and a little interaction with other cat people. http://www.powercatsnz.com/ Welcome aboard, Roger! I'm sure your expertise in design and engineering will be appreciated by many participants in Power Catamaran List. --Georgs -- Georgs Kolesnikovs Power Catamaran World http://www.powercatamaranworld.com
