Our most popular Catamaran design, the WALLER
TC 670 was designed as an easy to build and sail multi-hull
yacht, which could also be trailed by the average family car without the
need for demounting or expensive collapsable trailers. Designed primarily
for 2 people, the TC 670 is ideal for a couple, or a family with young
children. The small cabin features a double berth, a good sized and easy
to use galley, and a small table around which 3 can sit in comfort. There
is also a chemical toilet beneath the foot of the double berth, and 2 children
could bunk down in the cockpit under a boom tent. At anchor, the tent will
turn the cockpit into a huge covered living area. |
The multi chine hull (flat bottom with 2 chines) is constructed from
sheet ply over plywood, with minimal timber framing. Construction employs
the timber / epoxy building technique, is very strong to stand up to the
rigors of trailing, and is simple and straightforward with the entire shell
built as a single unit. When turned over, very little is required to complete
the vessel.
This
yacht features a single centre board and rudder placed on the center line.
On small, narrower cats, this configuration has proven to be most effective
and efficient, and the lack of board cases in the hulls makes construction
that much easier and quicker
The
rig is a simple 7/8 design, with simple spars and utilizing off the shelf
fittings. The rig can be home built if desired. |

States of America. |
Particular care has been taken to
ensure that this boat is both a safe and reliable performer, with an efficient
sail plan and low profile for windward performance.
All
sails can be reefed in a blow, and the yacht features removeable 'hobbie'
style out-rider seats for sailing in stronger winds.For normal sailing
these are unnecessary. The rig features an assymetrical spinnaker
set from a bow pole, but a normal symetrical spinnaker could be used if
desired.
Plans
for the TC 670 are extremely comprehensive, with all drawings A1 size,
complete written specifications, and a builders manual. This is an
ideal project for a first time boat builder, and is a particular favourite
with retired couples.
