  2. She looks really good, slick boat even 5 decades after she was designed. I will upload a scan of Chuck Kanter's review of hte Iroquois in a few days, you'll find his insights enlightening as you go forward. BTW, you might just want of a copy of his book 'Cruising in Catamarans", in which he reviews several dozen cats as well as how-to-sail-cats, seamanship in cats, etc. As *the* surveyor of catamarans through the years, his opinions about what is important and what is good vs bad design might be extremely helpful as you make your plans to resucitate Vicace.
