Build Your Own PVC Pipe Beachcat

Anyone seen one of these? Here is a guy selling instructional videos for building a catamaran from thinwall PVC and Wallmart cloth for sails.

The video also says it has "wave piercing hulls".
Note: The wave piercing hulls are made out of traffic cones. :prost:
Next time you drive into an unmarked pothole, just think that somebody just built their own catamaran!

I thought the video said you cut a slit top & bottom, then heated the PVC & bent it to fit?
I had to watch the entire video, was recuperating after a nasty NAcra day in 30 mph, & my buddy was slow on a beer run.
I also noticed that not a single segment showed the sewer tube cat under sail, they were all stills.
I don't imagine there was much shape to the home sown sail made with $1/yd Wally World fabric, but what the hell, it still would beat sitting on the shore all day.

Something I saw on the site said he had two methods and now recommends using 10 inch pvc and traffic cones (which have a 10 inch base) for the nose because it's simpler than the heat and shape method.
Still wonder what the source of the traffic cones is supposed to be. π
