dj,
I'm impressed. I hope to hear more about your progress and accomplishments with this 60ft catamaran in your yard. Do you have a website that you regularly update with this information? Are you one of the spirited sailing enthusiasts? Can you share some of the design objectives or goals that are hoped to accomplish with this boat when it's completed? Good Luck with your backyard project.
