Naramatac was a catamaran sailboat designed by Robert B. Harris in 1948[1][2] and launched in 1950.[3] Its innovative use of asymmetric hulls later became a hallmark of the Hobie Cat.[5][1]
I was looking for a day sailer which, though not necessarily a speed demon, would easily go by other boats of her size, would manoeuvre well and go to windward. I also paid some attention to making her easy to build with thoughts for the home builder.
