After receiving all the core materials I decided to elongate hulls to 9.2 meters, add some rocker too, just a few cm, lower the cabin height and edit some other cosmetic aspects. New hulls will be ready soon. The longer platform is just a safety measure without enlarged rig. The rig choice is still blurred. What do you want from your driving engine when you're in the middle of nowhere ? Reliability, easy to repair, low consumption. I guess that describes a basic diesel engine, how to translate that into a boat rig ?
Given the size of the cat and the type of sailing intended I assume a low CoE would be highly desired, this boat's trim will be highly influenced by waves as it is short, unless a cat rig is way underpowered I think it will be unsafe surfing down waves with it.
The hull design is intended to be a true monocoque no edges or kinks, the intention is to have almost every surface with double curvature for added stiffness.
