Thanks, guys.
Dad had Cougar cat when I was young and we had a blast on that very wet ride. Our last project together is still sitting behind the house- 18HT hulls, crossarms, tramp, and broken F17 mast + sails. We finished sleeviing the carbon mast before he passed. It did spend some time with a G-cat 5.7 rig on it. I will either finish it as a cat or build a strike 20 trimaran center hull and use it as the amas and rig. I am tempted by the Shark but adding another project will have to wait.

I’m probably like many out there that had a dream of rebuilding a Shark. Back in 2004, I picked up hull #234 from an elderly owner who let it rot away. The boat was fiberglass and well beyond rebuildable. At the time I purchased a set of plans from John Rogers and aspired to build one out of cedar but never got further than starting the male mold. The cost of quality lumber was prohibitive as a college student. The sails, spars and hardware have long been sold but I still have the plans. If there’s a Shark owner out there that is interested, I’d be happy to gift the plans if you cover shipping and send a small donation to the forum. PM me if you are interested and I can send you pics of what I’ve got.

The plans are on their way to a new home. Thanks Shark1969 for the generous donation to the Forum.
