Max Oudendag took a few minutes last fall to talk about being a Kindred local. 10 years ago Max was pivotal in turning our board-building hobby into a livelihood. He gave us a boost at exactly the right moment by requesting our first ever paid commissioned build! He reinforced our hunch that people would be interested in buying custom or small-batch exceptional rides that reflect the rider - and double as beautiful artwork. For more than a decade Max has been underpinning the foundation of our community. He does this by investing time, energy and heart into sports, events and small business here on Vancouver Island. If there is something cool going on around here, you can bet Max is part of it. He is an expert at bringing people together through projects and to our humbled delight he includes Kindred at every opportunity. This year has seen in-person events cancelled. We’ve all been searching for ways to uplift each other and preserve our sense of interconnection. How many sidewalk conversations about gardening did you have with your neighbours this year? Have you taken up new outdoor sports hobbies? In the face of tough times people are turning to nature and many are satisfying a craving for carefully-crafted goods that facilitate a life well-lived. Choosing outdoor recreation and shopping with small businesses is an empowering way to strengthen our communities. Max made this realization long before the pandemic hit. His actions over the past decade have had a trailblazing and lasting effect that we see very clearly. Three cheers for Max! Give this guy a high five below or an elbow bump next time you see him. If there is a “Max” in your own community, keep your eyes on what they’re up to and show them some love.

► Full test in Multihulls World 187: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/dazcat-1295-two-hulls-no-compromises Darren Newton, the designer-builder of the Dazcat range, likes to validate his work by racing his catamarans, even those (such as the 1295) that are oriented towards blue water cruising. Designed to sail far and long-term with a short-handed crew, the 12.95 is also often the fastest in a race, even on a technical course. The designer and shipyard are very exacting on the weight calculations and weight centering. As with all Dazcats, each owner has a margin of customization according to his or her program. This is a most talented cat! ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Multimarine Manufacturing Ltd Length: 42’6” (12.95 m) Beam: 21’4” (6.50 m) Light displacement: 11,575 lbs (5.25 t) Draft: 2’8”/7’7” (0.80/2.30 m) Mainsail: 645 sq ft (60 m²) Genoa: 323 sq ft (30 m²) Asymmetric spi: 1,560 sq ft (145 m²) No. of cabins: 2 to 4 Water: 132 US gal (500 l) Diesel: 31 US gal (120 l) Engines: 2 x 21 HP ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!

Conçu pour naviguer loin et longtemps en équipage réduit, le 1295 peut également être le plus rapide lors d'une régate, y compris lors d’un parcours technique. Designer et chantier sont très exigeants sur le devis des masses et le centrage des poids. Comme pour tous les Dazcat, chaque propriétaire conserve une marge de personnalisation en fonction de son programme. Un vrai surdoué, ce cata ! ► CARACTERISTIQUES TECHNIQUES Constructeur : Multimarine Manufacturing Ltd Longueur : 12,95 m Largeur : 6,60 m Déplacement lège : 5,5 t Tirant d'eau : 0,80/2,00 m Grand-voile : 60 m2 Génois : 30 m2 Spi : 145 m2 Cabines : 2 à 4 Eau : 500 l Carburant : 120 l Motorisation : 2 x 21 CV ► Abonnez-vous GRATUITEMENT à la chaîne YouTube de Multicoques Mag dès maintenant – https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Connectez-vous à notre site Web pour découvrir plus de 500 essais !
