I capsized the Duo dinghy in a controlled test a couple of years ago. Here you see me capsizing it, righting it and then sailing away. You can see it is very stable, the tubes add a huge amount if extra stability and act as fenders when coming alongside, yet are not in the water in normal use. The Duo is a 2 sheet plywood dinghy that was built in 2 days. It can be rowed, sailed or motored. A nesting option is available. You can buy plans and see more details here http://sailingcatamarans.com/index.php/designs-2/46-beach-cats-and-dinghies/420-duo-10ft-sailrow-dinghy (this video has no audio)

The Multihull Centre is, we believe, the oldest boatyard in the world that specialises in multihulls. Founded in 1968 by Pat Patterson of Heavenly Twins catamaran fame it has been my home base since 1982. Sadly I am not often there these days, but did take this video today of the boats in storage. Dazcat build their boats here, but for general yard details see here http://www.multihullcentre.co.uk/ See my designs at www.sailingcatamarans.com of course

Every spring I post a video of the Multihull Centre. This has been my home base since 1982. And every year it seems to get ever more crowded with multihulls. In part of course because they are all much larger than 30 years ago. In this video you can see two Transit 38's, a Gypsy 28 and an Eclipse. In the back ground are a Sagitta and Banshee See here for more http://multihullcentre.co.uk/ and my designs here www.sailingcatamarans.com (no audio on this video)
