Hello,
\nI am the recent purchaser of a 1962 P-Class Catamaran. “Mahitabel” is a 28 ft long\/ by 12′ Beam Designed by Bud Platten \/ R&D builder for Hobie Catamarans.
\nIt is to my understanding that boat designers Platten, Eric Witte, Ron Holder were fighting for a 1-man design, I am inquiring to see if Mahitabel is just in fact the Hull #1 that resulted.
\nShe is a fiberglass\/ kevlar reinforced hull with steering 3′ forward of AMA’S. Foiled foam Dagger boards forward, and 300 sq ft of sail!
\nMahitabel is currently under rebuild in an owner\/ repair shop Finleys in Oceanside.
\nIf you could provide any knowledge of this beautiful machine,
\nIt will help give me strength in each sanding stroke!
\nMark Pasquale<\/p>\n
