Tiki Pete had (or still has?) a Wharram 21 I think, which is a plywood homebuilt cat for cruising.

It's not "Light" by beach cat standards, but much better for "cruising" as it's got lots of storage space and sleeping down below, and a hard deck as well as a tramp forward of the mast. I'll see if I can google up a picture of one. I saw one here on my lake for about $3,000 but that was years ago, don't know where it ended up.

Here is a link to the Wharram site, and a shot of a 21's storage space. http://www.multihulls.uk.com/wharram/t21_1235.htm

And of course there's a You Tube vid of it underway! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5dhFVp4_C0
