I would also call your attention to this attachment. Check in front of the port main beam.
That is a hatch cover...hinged..part of the boat. About the size of an average chilly bin.
This boat went like stink on a reach and was good enough on all points of sail yet it had heaps of buoyancy and easy storage etc etc.
The fact is we don't give enough though to multi-use in cats.
Good point. I like sailing fast and flying hulls, but I like to camp cruise and having a boat with the hatches and bulkheads of a kayak, integrated tent options, higher freeboard and so forth would be cool. the H 21SC comes close and I see the prices have finally started to come down. In the meantime I'm going to be using my H 18 but would love suggestions on how to imporve the boat for those uses.
I was thinking of adding a reef point possibly and figuring out better ways to use the hulls for storage than the 5" access hatch.
Ideas?
