As most of you are aware, Im a big fan of Reuel Parker and think that anyone building a boat really needs to have read his "The New Cold-Molded Boatbuilding". Plus his designs are way cool...
Then again, theres this puppy...

I suspect Mr Parker gave the client exactly what he asked for...
However, if you look closely at the design, I cant help but conjecture that there is a Wharramesque cat crying out to be released from its burden of the bridgedeck monstrosity someone stuck on its back.
An open bridgedeck with, maybe, a small pod would be less expensive, cheaper/faster to build, and perform a whole lot better as a result. All of a sudden Im finding this design a lot more interesting the minute the bridgedeck cabin gets left out of the mix.
Offhand, if I were thinking of building something like a Wharram, Im pretty sure Id give Parker a call and see what he might come up with the same sort of brief... Which is not to say that I dont like Wharrams (I built a Tiki 31) I do but, as there is a dearth of open bridgedeck cat designs, a little new blood and insight would be no bad thing at all.
Just thinking out loud...

So it goes...
