You're right, but they are very popular at moorings, particularly in the Carribean.

A 42 footer would be OK with me but they may not get too popular because of beam…at the dock From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Chuck S Sent: November 8, 2013 7:08 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Current C&C History; now a Dose of reality !!!! Hi Dwight, FWIW, I read that catamaran hulls need to have a 10:1 length to width ratio to work well as cats. The hulls need to pretty long to get any livable space inside. They also need to be kept light or they never perform well. The optimum length to accomadate beds and a head and carry stores and have deep enough hulls to raise the crossbeam clear of waves seems to start around 42 ft.

I like mostly all boats that are equipped to allow me to play with the sail and rig adjustments and notice the resulting effects on performance…if you want big speed and low draft the twin hull boats are really something, remember the AC races, I was impressed and those guys usually are years ahead of what the sport will eventually move too…all the mono hull racing designs changes try to make performance advances or increased speed potentials in tenths of knots while the twin hull designs in the 30-40 foot range give lots of below decks space, low draft and double speed potential…I have never sailed one but I would like to give one a try… From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Indigo Sent: November 8, 2013 2:22 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Current C&C History; now a Dose of reality !!!! Must be horribly tough for any boat builder to decide what niche to attack J boats seems to have got the one-design market sewn up - especially in the North East - especially at the 35ft and below (j109, j105, j80 etc) Catalina, jeanneau, Beneteau, hunter have the mass-market - you gets what you pay for, mostly coastal cruisers, with cavernous saloons, queen beds for use while at a slip etc Others, and there are plenty, struggle to attract the discerning sailor who maybe wants to go offshore, go out in less than perfect weather etc. -- Jonathan Indigo C&C 35III SOUTHPORT CT On Nov 8, 2013, at 12:47, "Della Barba, Joe" < joe.della.ba...@ssa.gov > wrote: IMHO C&C would be very well served to bring this boat or a newer version back to life. From what I can tell sport boats that * you can keep on a trailer * are where the action is. Slip fees eat up too much of the budget for people now.

It was the SR21 which was the SR Max designed by Glen Henderson. It is still a nice boat using the concept of light weight rather than too much sail.
