Professionalism was the order of the day. The City of Dorchester (otherwise known as the Mickey Mouse Flagship) and the Canoe Cuy, two full size catamaran-type warships, left all the other contenders in the lurch. The Canoe Cuy was the winner, but two first place awards were made, owing to a dispute about class conflict. The City thought they were in a different class than the Canoe Cuy and didn't paddle as hard as they could, since they were easily beating everyone else...
Burma's building is shaped like a royal catamaran barge, Hawaii's like a volcano, the Ivory Coast's like elephant tusks. Even the tiny Persian Gulf sheikdom of Abu Dhabi has a pavilion-because, the Expo guidebook notes, it "hopes to gain new friends in the world by taking part." Japanese Architect Kenzo Tange, in charge of overall planning, claims that he likes the clashing effects. The only building that really angers him, he says, is a traditional seven-story pagoda erected by Japan's Furukawa conglomerate...
...three deck levels, where they will be stored horizontally. General Dynamics is scheduled to deliver three SEEBEES to Lykes in late 1971 at a total cost (including 266 special barges) of $111 million. The third barge ship, the Stradler, designed by New York Engineer Frank Broes, will be a catamaran that will cradle ten barges between its twin hulls. The motorized barges, each holding 12,000 tons of cargo, will sail in under their own power through a bow door, sail out through a stern door. Broes' Stradler Ship Co. is negotiating to buy a shipyard to build these...
...When it is completed, the Navy will have two vehicles that can extricate 24 submariners at a time at depths of up to 3,500 ft. Four more DSRVs will be added later, to be flown to a point near disaster scenes, then piggybacked atop "mother" nuclear subs or catamaran-hulled rescue vessels...
Outboard racers call Lake Havasu's four-mile course "the toughest in the U.S.," and last week's eight-hour race was a battle for survival. Within two hours, 26 boats were out of action, including Ogle's catamaran. Craig Breed-love's U-707 flipped and catapulted him out of the cockpit. With Teammates Cooper and Ramos handling the wheel, Reagan's Rayson Craft opened up a 6-mi. lead; then, with an hour and a half to go, Mike took over. It was eventful: the boat's dashboard collapsed, and Reagan...
