Being the builder and owner for two years of an Eco 6 catamaran I can share some thoughts. In addition to the Eco 6 I have had a life of sailing, over 50 years as Skipper, and have sailed coastal, and

Bernard I would like to build a 860 open, with the single sail plan. Im in the US. Can we have someone here cut the kit? I would pickup from CLC in annp. Md How much cheaper would it be, then building
