Fish and Chips 7.3 metre demountable catamaran

This design is for the experienced builder with boat building experience.
This boat was designed to be built using plywood Stitch and Glue construction Fish and chips is a demountable catamaran. It can be disassembled and stacked on a road trailer. The cockpit is removable and stacks on top of the hulls. To assemble for launching:

  • Extend trailer to full width and slide hulls out.
  • Insert fore and aft beams into sleeves, slide hulls in and bolt up.
  • Place main beam into recess and bolt up from inside hulls.
  • Place cockpit into position and fix with support pins.
  • Lash forward trampoline to fixings.
  • Raise mast using trailer winch if necessary.
  • Launch off trailer.
Note, this is not a typical "trailer sailor" as the estimated time to set up would be 4 - 5 hours.
Auxiliary power is an extra long shaft outboard motor (8 - 9hp).
Fish and chips should be a reasonably comfortable inshore cruiser for 4 - 5 people.

This boat built by Victor in Russia.
