Thank you Rob, for these updates. The Luca Antara is quite impressive. The yellow sup(er)marine. Is it 18m (your message) or 20m (the web site) long? Could you post the interior layout when you get the chance? I suppose 2 double bunks in each hull.
How much lighter would it be using the KSS building method?
Would you still recommend the drum arrangement for the rudders?
The beams look quite hefty. Their engagement with the windward hull is less subtle than with the vis where they stay out of the way of useable space. Is it the sheer size of LA that makes this unnecessary?
Thanks again.
Luc
