Catamaran Designers

EASY Catamarans

 

We were heavily influenced by Peter and Anne SNELL. Peter is the designer of the EASY series of catamarans. Their knowledge and bias toward the amateur catamaran builder were key in our decision making process. His plans are simple, yet leave room-to-move in ideas as long as one complies with his 'structural documentation'. Peter has since retired however is contactable for anyone who wants to chat or buy plans. Contact us if you want his details.

 

 

 

Picking a Catamaran Designer

There are many catamaran designers with quality designs, all have there own particular attributes. It's the sifting through these yacht design attributes and the 'spin' that each designer throws on their yacht plans, that takes the time.

Some designs even look very similar...mmm.

These are a few Designers that we canvassed that allowed for amateur sailing catamaran building, a majority of this list are from south of the equator. We tried to choose someone close to home providing 'easy-access-to-help', worth consideration.

Just sniffing around?

Whichever designer you choose, you will have a blast. Don't be fooled, there is some hard work ahead. If you think that you have the gift to cut down on the required building hours, you are in for a surprise. Some hours will be enjoyable, some will be full of frustration and many hours will be slow.

• Never loose sight of your goal,
• Keep a positive attitude, and
• The world could be your oyster (in more ways than one).

Catamaran builders are a special breed who know their vessel inside out and always have a yarn to share. They all brag their various traits, but at the end of the day are all family belonging to an unusual club, the Amatuaer Boatbuilding Club. We hope you can join us and look forward to meeting you on the water.
