9.1 m Woodwind Catamaran

Most backyards have the space to build the 9.1 metre Woodie. You need about 34 feet by 11 feet with about 2 feet of work space around. More interstingly, this boat can be built right side up which allows a lot of the internal fitout to be completed before planking. Briefly, the bulkheads are suspended from a simple frame, or say, the roof joists of a garage. There is a full description in the study prints but it's easy to see the advantage of this method in smaller boats. She has a knuckled hull form and full standing room in the hulls. As with all our Woodwinds, she has a simple to build sheet ply, multichine hull which is well within the skills of an amateur builder.
