Yeah, thats what you want. But, I'm talking 30 years ago, you got pretty much all the materials to build your hulls, a mast, a boom (blank sections) as well as the plan set.

I'm just about finished building another cat, and keeping in mind where I am, which is the middle of nowhere really, I had to get ply from Queensland, because Marine Timbers couldn't supply the sheets I wanted, bits from here and bits from there etc.. This boat has or will probably cost somewhere around $1000 in freight alone.

I don't know whether it is worth looking into, but maybe the associations could benefit, and keeps the costs down for new owners by putting together 6 sheets of ply, 1 sheet of foam, a few bits of WRC, the beams and a mast. The rest would obviously be subject to personal opinion (fittings and systems, sails etc..) I'm NOT saying this is the way to go, but who knows, just an idea from the past.
