Power catamarans have twin engines. That makes them much safer than a conventional single engined powerboat. It also makes them very manouverable. Here I am turning our Skoota 28 in circles without using the steering wheel. You can see the engines are in line, turning is achieved by putting one engine in reverse, the other in forward gear I'm not very good at it yet! In part because the engine thrust in forward is much greater than in reverse, (because the exhaust goes through the propeller), so the throttle in forward needs a delicate touch You can build your own Skoota 28 in plywood from plans by Woods Designs, see more at www.sailingcatamarans.com
After having a fast sail down the coast from San Francisco to Santa Barbara in some very windy conditions, it was wonderful to be back in a dock. We knew we were officially in Santa Barbara, and SoCal in general, when we saw someone taking a poo barefoot... the ol' SoCal Barefoot Pooper! Why put shoes on when you could... not.
