Cat2Fold was a very unique one off 36' folding catamaran. It will fit in a slip (I think) and is trailerable. It was for sale in Mexico with the trailer at $75,000 which is cheaper than most Gems...

Yep Zonk it fails those categories you listed but the Lagoon 380 does fit the comfy category for the wife and small kids and the price range of the OP. So, is there standing headroom under the boom with bimini of a TRT?

Is there standing headroom under the boom on a TRT?  I see some with biminis so I was wondering about that. It doesn't fit all of your criteria but a Lagoon 380 is worth looking at, especially an owners version. Your wife would love it.

My Crowther tri was cold molded with West epoxy. I got a real nasty gash to the core from a windstorm while at the dock. 5 months later I hauled it out and the wetness had barely expanded and this was in one of the wettest winters in the PNW. It was double diagonal planked with cedar. I don't...

The OP said it was for interior shutters so everyone can relax. Any wood will do for those.

I'm a retired contractor. I doubt aspen because it doesn't do well in the elements. We are talking exterior shutters, right?  Shutters are typically cedar or pine btw. Sugar pine used to be real popular as an exterior wood and it's more of a whitish blond color.  But it's really hard to beat...

The French also built the Yapluka alu cats. I think Garcia is doing one now.

There was a french group doing bow modifications to the Outremers about 10 years ago. They built a mold for the project.  I believe the mods costs around $10,000.

I love it Zonker. I think that Outie 40 might be worth some sweat equity if it was convenient. And cheaper.

Here's the vid of the modifications to a Woods Gypsy 28. They cut the boat in half and added 5' to the middle. But before that they added 4' to the sterns. So it is now 37'. http://www.time-for-a-catamaran-adventure.com/light-wave-woods-32-37-sailing-catamaran/

A guy did saw his boat in half and added a few feet to the middle. Maybe a Wood's design and possibly done in Canada. Obviously not for the faint of heart. I think it's on utoob. Did the O49 hobbyhorse?

Going back in this thread a bit, what was wrong with the Wormwood?

Dammit, and I knew the 60' was the Chinese one. There is a little more than zero resemblance on the 2 55s. The HH has a big sliding door where the GB was more open air. Take that door out and there you are. The longeron is similar but that's an M&M thing. For a company with an alleged no...

GB has parted ways with the Chinese yard that built the 66. Now HH has a 55. Look familiar? http://www.tradeonlytoday.com/2015/09/gunboat-international-sues-chinese-boatyard/

All the winches were originally mounted on the center console/helm. I think they are still there. The hatches were likely removed by wave action.

Alpha is still producing. A guy on CF is next in line. I think he is #4. He says they have orders for 6 more or something like that.

I don't see the comparison. Rimas couldn't sail, and the boat needed work and it was a poor choice for the "adventure" but at least the boat could theoretically sail. The FH on the other hand................

I would think so. The existing vid is edited so we know there are some missing pieces there.

Frayed, that's why we were hoping Jarcher's FOI request turns up something better that that vid. We want to see the carnage.

Yup, the rescue was January 31. https://www.dvidshub.net/video/389708/coast-guard-rescues-5-people-sinking-sail-boat-off-coast-monterey#.VRRO1_nF-ct
