That's not an 18 square- that's an Alpha cat- It is 18 foot long and built by the Roland's and was the predecessor to the NACRA's- the stern and beams are essentially same but bow is (obviously!) different!

I'm looking for more info on active 18 squares, we are having a bit more interest in these boats in Aus, I have Bob Forbes one that had the solid wing sail when he was going for the speed records, but now is carbon 32ft tapered mast with big square top sail and hope to get it on the water this season. I've got a couple of mates interstate with 18 squares. I have another mate that is looking for a project 18 square, so if you know anyone with an unused 18 square could you put them onto this thread or pm me. Thanks in advance for any help or info

Jeffs - I've got a crisp 1987 18x2 that I'd part with. She's a blast in high wind, but is a little wide to navigate our local bouy field. It's located in Minnesota so it might be a bit difficult to get it to Australia, pm me if you're interested.

Thanks for the reply but I reckon that ones a bit far away for us, I reckon they are the ideal boat for a big fella looking for a one up boat when the crews not available for the other boats
