Great stuff!!!!!!!

Almost looks like strip plank boats. Interesting shape to the hulls!

I would be very interested in hearing how you did the join of the two halves. Bulkheads inside etc.

Don’t know if I shall recommend the way I joined the halves, at least not before I have smashed the cat into a big wave... The good way is with flanges, but I wanted to go fast...

Usually the worst loads are beaching and trailing, not necessarily sailing.

I know Farrier designed home-built hull halves are never flanged. They do have some tape applied though... I guess you did that too. Never heard of any problems with those.

I did a small rebate and added some extra glass BX+/-45deg over the joint. I’m not really scared of it breaking. The two hulls are glassed and I will try to get the time to make the beams and landings for them the next weekend.

So here we are, a new cat in the water. It’s not painted yet, just a little bit of primer, and the rig is borrowed from the DS12, but I could not resist. There was not a lot of wind so it’s still hard to say anything about how it’s sailing, but even with this light wind it was easy to tack.

Have you weighted the complete boat yet? What would the weight difference be between the two boats?
I was wondering how it would be to cartop these on a regular sedan, nothing else.
