CORAL COVE 31 MK I CATAMARAN - PHOTOS

Note that these pic are of he Mk I, which is essentially the same in appearance as the Mark II. The main differance is that the Mark II features a full bridge deck instead of cross beams.

	The Mark I at anchor. Essentially this boat has been built with a full bridge deck and turret cabin, and so is virtually the same in appearance to the Mk II., which was drawn to include those features.
	A very well laid out helm position.
	The galley area. Small (it is after all only a 31 ft boat) but very functional. There is a large galley bench outboard to the right.
	Chart Table area.
	Forward single berth to starboard
	Dinette. Note the all around panoramic views.
	Aft double berth - Starboard.
	Bulkheads being set up on the building jigs. This builder chose to build two jigs and build the hulls side by side, and together. He will save a lot of work this way.
	Bulkheads up, stem , keelson and sheer strakes in place.
	Chines on.
	Framing done and ready to start planking. Now she looks like a boat!
	Planking on - this shows the nice clean lines of the stern. Note that the mini keels are on as well.
	Hull planked - bow view this time. The hulls are long and lean and very streamlines. This is the outer side of the port hull.
	This is the inner side of the Port hull. Note the inner pods which are the reason for this boat's superb accommodation. Note also that the pods are on the outer sides here. When the hulls are rolled the pods will be inside and facing each other - just a little fore thought goes a long way.
	Hull shells almost complete
	Hull Shell almost complete - rear view
	Hulls turned and connected, cabins mostly completed - rear view.
	Same again from the front.
	Hulls and brudgedeck structure virtually complete. Note tiller fitting will be covered with a removeable cap on completed vessel.
	Double berth space in aft port hull. This is a full size double bed. Starboard hull has a dinette here which can convert to another double berth.
	Port hull looking forward into W.C. space. Cozy, but adequate for the job, and larger than most cats of this size and style.
	Cockpit area, looking forward to the small cockpit dinette seating area. Cockpit seats either side at the aft end. Cockpit on the Mk II extends further back.
	Cockpit half cabin in place. Note# this is not a full bridge deck cabin - just a half cabin shelter over the forward end of the cockpit.
	Overall affect is very sleek. Note that built in section in front of turret cabin is non standard. As per plan this is a slatted deck area.Turret cabin on this boat is correctly built as per plan.
	The turret is very stylish. This style of cabin is used on the Coral Cove cats and the Waller 1100. It is slightly more fiddly to construct than a simple box turret but it looks far more professional, very stylish, and allows for terrific visibility. On the Coral cats it is an open backed cover only, over the front end of the cockpit area.

Mike Waller Yacht Design is a business specialising in boat plans for amateur boat builders. We custom design, and provide stock plans for both monohulls and multihulls, mainly catamarans. Other designs are sailing skiffs and sharpies, as well as power catamarans. Our designs mainly feature timber construction, in plywood or cedar strip plank composite construction, using the W.E.S.T. system (wood epoxy saturation technique). Our designs are intended mainly as cruising boats, although several have done well in racing.
