[quote=sailor-robert]Funny, the designer and I both grew up in Hawaii; however, I preceded his catamaran experiences by ten years. (Missing out on the [i]later [/i]good stuff). :-(
The "Matrix" I've just advertised here is so-o-o-o similar in its symmetrical / elliptical hulls and plumb-bow design—has the "belly" between the tramps—[b]and [/b]uses "the tube" to connect the tramps, [b]and [/b]fairs the cross beams into the hulls. Even the transoms look alike. More "flattery by imitation"?
From the previous owner in Miami, I was sold a "Matrix", but my 18'x10' cat has two 5-foot mahogany daggerboards, production/sail number 69, epoxy construction, and [u]no[/u] skegs. :-?
Maybe that previous Miami owner is "on board" here, and can expand on the above. (?)
