apprentice position offered on 48ft custom catamaran in Florida

I have been a multihull builder since 1976(Wharram type 1 Tangaroa) etc..I  have a lot of skills concerning construction and restoration that I want to transfer to an apprentice over a one-year period asap. I have been building this custom cat for 9 yrs, launched 2018; sea trials coming soon. You will learn: 1) designing  a live-aboard catamaran for very little money. 2)  safe use of fiberglass, epoxy, polyurethane adhesives, caulks, expanding foam; 3) marine woodworking alternatives to marine…See More

Hello Denis

The biplane rig of my previous Tiki30 don't need foresails and its windward performance were the same as a cruiser mono-hull.

Hi Bertrand.  Your English is AWESOME!!!!    I  am sorry that I had not informed myself about what was going on in your world before launching my naive inquiry (a few days ago) about your Swing Wing rig: NOW I know that you launched your PHA  46 ft , (after 13 years work) in the meantime : Congratulations!!! I know how it feels, having done the same for my Tangaroa in 1978. The pictures of the wishbone intimidate me: what will you do in a hurricane? It's too complicated for a cruising boat.       If you ever come to the Caribbean let me know; I can help.. dennis schneider

Hi Dennis

we haven't started building yet since i am slated to stat after we return from AU and NZ which should be around july or so. i do have a mill set to cut the dimensional i will need and we have the ply and epoxy lined up. its just a money making game at this time. this is not my first go round with boat building so things should go pretty well. we are almost done with my fathers 26 foot fishing boat for alaska so the next in the hopper is ours. should be fun.
