I did not succeed to put him on the water this year, although i had the whole August off and was working from morning till evening. I have the intention to put him on the water in spring (April, May). Till than i also have to find a cheap mooring. As you can see on the pictures both masts are up, and I tried to put the sails up, and everything is working fine at list now on the land, except the mast. Mast diameter is to small ( 6 cm ), and the mast is still shaking, despite the additional reinforcement with lairs of fibreglass. I will have to laminate additional wood profile and then a few layers of fibreglass. I also had to figure out the arrangement of cleats. I also had to install the the stainless steel wires, and cut the ropes on the end of wires. I purchased the ropes from local rope maker very cheap. The name of the company is Poliplet - http://poliplet.si/sl/, I also use 6 and 5 mm kevlar ropes. 6 mm kevlar costs 0,6 €/m.

I didn't have time for new entries and pictures, I work late in the night, i dont know weather i will put him on the water this year, because i dont have the berth for him, but nevertheless here are some pictures.

Today, or beater sad yesterday ( it is almost one o clock in the morning) is a great day for me. At last the catamaran is taking shape, i did not lift the mast, i have to do it in these days.
