EvolutionProcess

I'm currently thinking of a redesign. I've been pondering a lot these days on the actual build process. This cat must be practical within my budget, not just nice. Currently I'm debating wether it is efficient having asymmetrical hulls, especially when I'm considering building the hulls in female moulds. That would mean 2 female moulds, which is not good. I would go with a redesign - new symmetrical hulls, keeping the B/WL ratio, but with asymmetrical decks. Why female moulds ? Sanding the outside of a 9m cat is not an easy and fast process, quite the oposite. Female mould will save considerable time from the build process, also that will imply foam. This is probably one of the many turning points of the project, untill a satisfactory solution will come up. Foam will be 3 times more expensive than a wood core, most probably.
