[PCW] fuel economy

[Malcolm Tennant]

Dear John,

Your impression of the ocean going capability of some catamarans is quite
correct. Recently one of our WildWind designs crossed the Atlantic. You can
see an account of this voyage on  www.chrysalisvoyage.com . You can see the
actual design on our web site.

There have now been 11 of our designs do long range cruises across the
Pacific

I'm glad you like the Manta because it uses the very efficient CS hull form
that was developed in this design office. If you are interested in some fuel
usage comparisons I can send you some information to your e-mail address. I
can also send you an article I wrote for PassageMaker on power catamarans that
you may find interesting.

I hope you enjoy the Chrysalis web site.

Regards,

Malcolm Tennant.
