24ft Strider catamaran sailing fast in the Pacific

Here is a video that I have edited from three taken a couple of years ago showing a 24ft plywood Strider catamaran sailing in the Pacific. At first you think they are sailing fast - then they put the spinnaker up. No speeds are given, but I remember doing 16 miles in an hour on our Strider, in fact we sailed the 60 miles across the English Channel from Cherbourg and Poole between breakfast and lunch. Several owners have reported speeds in the low 20's. You can see the original videos here (but unless you like the Clash I suggest no audio) https://www.youtube.com/user/sebas76000 and more on the Strider here http://sailingcatamarans.com/index.php/designs/2-catamarans-under-25ft/165-strider Note the Strider comes in various versions, big/small rigs, daggerboard or keels depending on your temperament and skill level. I have personally owned 6 different Striders over the years and raced and cruised them far and wide. Still great all rounders. Easy to build and trail, fast and comfortable
