Ira just wrapped up photographing the F18 Americas Championship, and I drove for her one of the days. Those things haul ass!!! We were in a 18 ft. rib with a 90HP, and to get ahead of these things or do a ride-along with them involved some moderate butt-pucker... down wind OR up wind. The other challenging thing as a photo-boat driver is figuring out their bail-out angles. I want to get close, but if then need to come down hard in a puff the change in direction is a good amount larger than what a mono would do (understandable as the range of apparent wind angles are broader because the range of boat speeds are also larger). It was a ton of fun playing out on the SF bay with these rocket ships!

Catalac 9M catamaran under sail. These British built 30 foot boats cross oceans. They have two bedrooms, a bathroom, a full kitchen and a Salon that seats 6 adults. Their cockpits are large seating areas. These are safe, capable, entry level cruising catamarans at a fraction of the price.

Launch day of the Skoota 28 powercat. On board the builder, his wife and the designer. A general view of the boat. Twin 20hp outboards give 15.5 knots or 10 knots with just one engine. Note the cockpit seat backs have still to be finished and the boat is trimmed aft because all the tools are in the cockpit and the cabin is empty You can build this powercat yourself in plywood using plans from Woods Designs. We also have three other powercats, at 20ft, 24ft and 36ft as well as a comprehensive range of sailing multihulls 14ft - 45ft that you can also build from plans. Please check out Woods Designs www.sailingcatamarans.com for more details. Thank you
