Many people think that a 40ft x 25ft catamaran must be very hard to manouver in confined spaces, but this video disproves that. this is a home built 25year old Nimbus catamaran that has sailed over 50,000 miles. This design has now been replaced by the Transit 38. See more here www.sailingcatamarans.com

This 25ft Elf catamaran is shown sailing under bare poles in a gale off S Spain on an 800 miles trip home from the Canaries. Note how dry the boat is and how relaxed the singlehander - he's filming it after all! The Elf 25 is a grp catamaran and is now back in production in N France.

We made a 7sqm screecher for our 14ft plywood Zeta trimaran and tried it today. As you can see from the mirror like surface there wasn't much wind! It was all a lash up, I have no cleats for mainsheet or screecher so had to handhold everything. But it sailed well and tacked easily. You can build your own Zeta trimaran from 7 sheets of ply in 150 hours. The boat weighs 73kgs, 160lbs, ex rig.
