25ft Merlin sailing catamaran. Build your own using plans from Woods Designs www.sailingcatamarans.com. The hulls are strip plank cedar. This boat is 20 years old but looks just launched. It has sailed all over British Columbia and been lived on all year (yes including a Canadian winter) I also have dozens of other multihull designs, both power and sail, that you can build. Check out my website www.sailingcatamarans.com for more

Rule 18 is quite complex with many factors which need to be taken into account to decide if a boat should get room at the mark or not. The first step is to understand the positions of the boat when the first boat hits the zone which is a circle 3 times the length of the first boat to reach the mark. In this video it was 108 feet as the J109 leading into the mark is 36 feet long. The A35 which was approaching from behind was going a lot faster and established an overlap shortly after they entered the zone, they tried to barge in but the skipper on the J109 new the rules and held firm forcing the the A35 to do a tack and a gybe to round the mark and avoid a collision. The knowing the rules and clearly signalling the opposition boat when you reach the zone is the only way to make it clear to your competitors that they have no room and they should keep clear.
