I couldn't sleep last night, so whilst lying in bed awake, I had a great idea,
that I just had to tell someone.

How about getting two moth hulls and joining them together with 6ft
beams, and putting a tramp in the middle, to make a moth catamaran!
Wouldn't even be that complicated as you could use the rack attachments
to join the beams to the hulls. Beams would be easy to laminate with
carbon.

Would be an example of would have surely happened if multi-hulls
weren't banned all those years ago.

Possible extension ideas:
- bigger sails
- spinnaker
- trapeze
- using half the racks on each boat to make "outriggers", to carry even
more sail!!!

I call it the Tiger Moth!

Yer, basically. Would end up 11ft long, weigh about 40kg, and have silly sail
area. Sounds like a blast.
