This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on a website or the like. My site is down for rebuilding, but sooner or later the old stuff should reappear at omeyer.gmxhome.de Onno Meyer, 2009-03-30
Post-Apocalyptic Catamaran v1.0 (TL7) Copyright 2009 by Onno Meyer No reasonable disaster could flood the entire surface of Earth without a change of plate tectonics and geological timeframes, but a water world is a good adventure background. The Post-Apocalyptic Catamaran is a converted sailing yacht. She might have had radios and GPS at some point, but those are long gone, replaced by large crossbows to launch harpoons or other darts. An electric winch helps undersized crews - there should be a deck hand in addition to the helmsman. A full load of ammunition and provisions is $2,850 (at listed prices).
