The construction sequence is moving along smoothly now in Athens, Greece as the builders are ready to join the two hulls with a set of bulkheads and the bridgedeck.

For the past ten years, I’ve been collecting photos and written recollections from some of the founding members of the mid-20th Century re-awakening of the Polynesian catamaran form as a sailing craft. The names of Brown, Choy, Seaman, Kumalae, Edwards, Munoz and a dozen others set the standard by which all multihull designers still measure themselves.

After a lot of input from readers of this site, I have completed the modifications to the Solo16 S design that reflect many of their
expressed interests.
The Solo16 S now has a bit more displacement as a direct response to suggestions for the use of a small 2 hp outboard and some spare fuel. At the same time, the vaka hull was given additional beam above the waterline and the shear was raised some to allow for mods to the amas.
