Description: |
MADNESS is a lightweight Pacific or windward proa, intended for fast cruising with two adults or daysailing with four. With a payload of just under 1000 lbs, accommodations are ideal for an adventurous couple who want to explore, island-hopping through the Caribbean or cruising on a coastal adventure.
The design brief was for an elegant, inexpensive, and relatively easy-to-build multihull for fast cruising on the Chesapeake and in the Bahamas. Much care was taken to minimize exotic materials, such as carbon fiber, with the hope that this design is more accessible to the home builder than any other craft that sails this fast. |
