warrior 29
I would be very careful about adding anymore weight aft, namely replacing the aft tramp with a solid deck. The Warriors and Conser 29's sit fairly low on their transoms, as is. This was not intended in the design. Also, because of the high freeboard forward and the squatting transoms, the boats tended to have trouble beating in a choppy sea if the crew also was positioned aft. The key is to keep the weight forward on these boats.
I missed buying a warrior about 10 years ago. The white boat is a warrior. The one I was looking at had a teak splash guard as the **** coaming (painted white on sailing photo) and there was definitely a foot well. The mid (rear) deck was hard and the forward ones were polypropylene mesh. I was too late to buy the boat. I eventually bought a stiletto project which I finished to about 7/8 complete and then sold it for a profit to buy a macgregor 36. The Hulls on the stiletto were beamier than the warrior. From comments by owners, the stiletto was faster in light airs but the warrior took over as it breezed up. The stiletto was feather light and was probably not a good choice for me as I wanted a Chesapeake Bay cruiser. The macgregor is built like a truck compared to these other too. Absolutely no flex or quiver in any kind of a sea.

I have a Conser 1977 Warrior Catamaran that has been modified with composite deck, forward storage area, extended reverse transoms, forespar for a screecher. Even with the added weight, it's still a fast boat. This is one of the 17 that Conser made and was sailed from California to Panama and subsequently to Tampa, Florida. See photos at http:/
Hello,
I'm not too savvy with this Blog thing yet, but it looked to me like you found a Warrior catamarran. If you did, do you still own it? My husband and I are trying to connect with any of the Warrior owners as he grew-up sailing one with his father. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I am wondering if anyone knows how to connect with any of the current Warrior Owners. If you do, I would greatly appreciate it if you would let me know how to contact them as well. My husband grew up sailing on a Warrior with his father. He is now looking for one for himself.
