2 Liter Catamaran



This was the science project I brought back from the Outer Banks for Marlon. Finally got some time to build it last night.

It ran around in circles depending to a degree on the wind strength and mostly because of the asymmetry of the pontoons (same bottles, but not laid out exactly the same.

After several short runs (it kept blowing back to shore), I asked Marlon if he wanted to push it out one more time - he said yes. Thirty minutes later, after several "I'm hot" declarations, the catamaran finally came back in.

As I finish up a slew of other projects, I'll make some rudders for this boat.
