When I think of multihulls, I tend to think of the tropics. That’s an impulse illuminated by Anne Nygren in her story about the catamaran BAREBARE beginning on page 24. Anne, her husband, and a crew of knowledgeable and stalwart friends came together over several dark Norwegian winters to build this James Wharram–designed multihull, load it into a shipping container, and send it off to Tahiti. There, they met and rigged the boat and cruised it for several seasons in a tropical paradise as a sort of waterborne timeshare. Brilliant.
