 Catakini 16
by Capt. Len Susman trikinimaster@trikini.com

Thinking on the duckworks contest and the watertribe challenge and the time limitation and the physical shape I'm in <BG>

So went a new road today

A mini Cat.  Only 16 ft long.  90 degree bottoms so no cb or db to build
a reclining seat that you could sleep in and a flat along side for a regular berth flat.
flat on other side for galley and nav.

Wheel steering.

pedal power to a water bike drive unit on the stern

Rig use 15 ft epoxy fg windsurfer mast, with luff sleeve sails with reef points.
Can rig light air downwind sails between spar

for more stability could use a water ballast system since the hulls are basically empty

will probably make the pod bigger and deepen the hulls slightly

Would be an easy build
