As you can see, I stepped the mast 10 (?) scale feet too far aft. This reduces the overall mainsail area by 47%. In a running mod. an appropriate hole will be drilled in the salon roof for the correct location as castings come out of the mold. The sunshade for the helm are plastic parts and will require trimming to fit and a solar panel on top.
I'm working on a spinnaker sail. We shall revisit the "No shit! It's a Tit!" motif from the NZ regatta of years back. This one is too little (A-cup?)
I'll do my breast to build the bigger, better sail.
Thanks for looking in!
What a dinky little boat!

It's 46 scale feet long. This is kinda fun, but I honestly don't even like a catamaran much.What a dinky little boat!
They are dandy for novice sailors because they pitch some, but don't really roll much. You get a lot of time to trim up your sails and choose your course, because they typically aren't very speedy, even with the wind on her rudder. The main salon and deck are spacious, until bedtime as the cabins are in the hulls. A catamaran typically has a shallower draft than a monohull, so shoals and reefs are less of a bother. This style of catamaran is sort of a boxy, really expensive, roomy, ocean pontoon boat with air conditioning for lazy skippers. They bob and waddle along, unhurried. You often see catamaran skippers motoring, rather than sailing before the wind. You won't see a Lagoon or even Ocean Explorer cat hard into the wind, with one hull in the air, slicing through the waves, like my Hobie 16-footer does when properly handled.
Anyway, I moved the mast, made a new genoa sail power furler, built a fresh mainsail and tried to make a boob spinnaker I was happy with.
A, B and skipped clean to a D-cup. I don't know. With all the reference material available, you wouldn't think painting a nipple would be a big deal. The Tamiya flat flesh tone and tan line is pretty good on the D-Cup spinnaker.
Fluffy!!
