Athens Gato Build Update
The latest work on the Gato Especial build in Athens, Greece have just arrived. Alexis and his father have, once again, made significant progress on the completion of their crusing catamaran. It’s important to observe that they have continued their practice of doing excellent work with a creative set of adaptations on how they’d like to use their boat.

Dear Chris:
Crongratulations on you Gato and other designs. I am one of your design fans. I intend to buld a Gato in a near future if you supply the plans and I have the budget to it.
As a designer I would just suggest the Greek guys to modify the PORTLIGHT (lateral window) to its original design shape. This round shape with a thick frame is NOT fine and do not fit to the cat shape design. The same heavy shape problem for the front deck hatch. This simple details may ruin your beautiful design.
I made an modified image for you people to see but I don’t know how to send here. Sent it to your email.
Best Brazilian Regards.
Rabello

Hi Chris,
The Gato looks like it is coming along nicely. I am looking foward to hearing how it performs on the water. Please let me know when study plans and construction plans are available.
