The Windrush 14 Catamaran
(ex. Surfcat)
The Windrush is a 14 foot one design class catamaran designed and built in Australia. It also manufactured in the United States as the AMF Trac 14.
The Windrush is a very competitive boat in the company of other 14ft catamarans. It is easy to rig and sail and is forgiving if you happen to bury the leeward hull under water. It can be sailed single handed, or with a lightweight doubles combination of 100 - 120 kg.
