Hello all. Been interested in junks for well over a decade. I've been a bit obsessed with the idea of a 4 masted junk rigged catamaran. David Omick built a 24 foot version, and I'd like to build a slightly upscale 32 foot version. Ive been working out the plans for the last month or so. It's very Wharram like. Its designed to be as simple to build as possible without compromising strength or safety. It's 32 feet long (the length of 4 sheets of ply, and also the length of my garage). The dory style hulls have 4 foot sides, a 4 foot deck, 18 floor, one foot draft, and a straight middle run. Apologies for my primitive measurement system! Ive purchased all the wood, the bulkheads have been cut, and Ive been gathering supplies.
I do have some experience with homebuilt craft. I owed a Richard Woods catamaran and I currently own/live on a 38 foot homemade plywood monohull. This is a three year project I'll build while I'm back in the states during the summers. I plan to sell my monohull in 3 years after I get it back to the east coast (In Baja right now). The catamaran will hopefully be a little kinder on my aging body.
Heres a link to David's Minimus II project.
