A catamaran (From Tamil 'kattumaram')is a type of multihulled boat or ship consisting of two hulls, or vakas, joined by some structure, the most basic being a frame, formed of akas. Catamarans can be sail- or engine-powered. The catamaran was first discovered being used by the paravas, a fishing community in the southern coast of Tamil Nadu, India. Catamarans were used by the ancient Tamil Chola dynasty as early as the 5th century AD for moving their fleets to invade such Southeast Asian regions as Burma, Indonesia and Malaysia.

The last of the catamarans intended.

Bit of a compromise on this one, involving a bit of juggling with what dark bluish grey lego i have left.

I was just exploring the little laneways that lead out to the lake that I usually ignore. This one brought me to a corridor about 20 metres wide fenced off for pubic beach access, pretty non-descript except for the patterns of sand and water and somebody's catamaran parked off shore.

Quite breezy today, but one boat braved the waves. with a nice backdrop of Eastbourne.

Hello!

I'm sure, that everyone has already heard about that technique, when we use only 1x2 plates or bricks to creat curves. I wanted to try it, too. The result is here with 100+ 1x2 bricks, 50+ 1x2 plates and a fully detailed interior!

At first please look at my previous sailboat. It was interesting to see the difference between them. In the old one there are a boat hull of a Lego set. Now it was very cool that I didn't have fixed dimensions!

There are a picture about the interior here!

The boat has some interesting features and building techniques. My favourite one is the brickbuilt mast. There are four sections in it:

-2x2 round bricks

-1x1 bricks with stud on four sides and 1x1 round plates with holes on the studs, covered by 1x8 tiles

-1x1 high bricks

-1x1 round bricks

Fortunately all of the elements has hole, so it was possible to put technic axles and bars or rigid hoses into them. So the fragility of the mast disappeared!

More pictures are on MOCpages!

Hope you like it! :)
