The 1480 sailing. Note this this one has a non standard masthead rig, as the owner wanted to use the mast from his existing monohull.
	1480 sailing again - stern quarter view
	1480 bow view - photo is a little wonky.
	1480 at anchor in Bali - storm clouds building
	1480 moored in Mooloolaba, Australia after having sailed through a hurricane. Bridle between hulls is non standard, and was used to accomodate an existing mast fromowners previous vessel.
	This is a very 'big' 48 ft cat. Note the squared foredeck beam, which has now been replaced in the plans with a more rounded beam.
	Mooloolaba again
	And again
	Wide side decks allow for clear and easy working of the vessel. Flat cabin top and steps make working the mast a breeze.
	Helmsmans raised position is very sheltered and very comfortable. That platform has a massive ice box inside it.
	Foredeck area is huge. Even room for a dugout canoe.
	The view from the helmsmans doghouse is superb
	'Paktiya' getting close to completion. This vessel has had the cabin top rounded off a little more, and the forward cross beam is less box like.
	'Paktiya' again. This boat was built single handed, and she is a beautiful job.
	Construction is cedar strip plank for the hulls. The shell is constructed in two halves, each forming half of the bridgedeck plus one hull.
	Half the boat turned and ready to join.
	Construction of the interior and topsides well under way - view of the helm and cockpit area.
	View of the main saloon looking to starboard
	Main saloon looking to port
	View of Galley
	Galley again, looking from the forward cabin aft.
	Full size double berth in the starboard forecabin
	Starboard forecabin looking aft from WC compartment
	Aft cabin looking forward from berth
	Aft cabin looking from galley area.
	The WC area, with seperate shower cubicle behind. The Toilet is out of sight opposite the vanity and basin. WC and shower are interconnecting and have seperate entrances, so can both be used at once.
	Neat and tidy chart table. This is not the standard location of the chart table, and normally a wet compartment / W.C. would go here - shows that you can always modify small things to your own taste.
	Large and very dry and sheltered cockpit wraps around the helmsmans raised position. Excellent position for shelter even in the worst of weather.
