Greetings Chris, we spoke a while ago when you first posted Fat Cat 21. I now live in Ogden, Utah and own a Sanibel 18 monohull which I hope to sell this winter. I’ve been looking at tacking outriggers for some time. Plan is to roll the money into a fun fast and nimble daysailor with potential for camp cruising.

Your revised A64 is a marvel! She has all the characteristics of a very attractive, modern, easy build, fast, light trailerable single handed daysailor!

So, are plans available yet? Let me know please, thanks.

PS: You mentioned the Flaquita. I wanted to build her and searched everywhere for the plans. I could no longer find her posted anywhere.

I finally learned Joe Henry has donated the plans to the NGO Island Aid as an artisanal fishboat design. Their web site states the 5m Flaquita will need to be scaled up and simplified to reduce costs. The link bellow (scroll down) shows the only photos I know of her on the web anymore. http://www.electriclamb.org/AFP/pages/24.html

Hi Chris , love to hear more about the A21 tri asap.

Are you increasing the ama volume for the tri for example?

Have a spare Hobie 17 rig that could be useful for such a project . Also interested in the gunter concept .

regards , paul
