The Inactive Multihull Portsmouth Table includes a B-Lion, but the numbers seem high for a 20 footer.

I detect a sleeper for the Tripoint race! 73 may not be accurate but was probably correctly done. Proper PN needs a goodly number of races to be accurate and I doubt if there were more than a couple for deriving that number. My first experience racing was a H-16 vs B-lion on Lake St Clair (Mi) in '71. There's one for sale in Grand Rapids in addition to the one in Torrance. For $400 it's a steal but not good for Isabella, Carl. Pete

Jerome linked to probably the only info available, do you have a B-Lion in sailing shape?

If so please add pictures to the B-Lion photo album page

And if you happen to have any printed info about the boat that would be great.

I've always like the way the B-Lion and the Shark catamarans folded in the middle for trailering. Seems like a practical solution for a wide beachcat and a whole lot less windage and drama than a tilting trailer.

Since these were invented in the 1960's it makes me wonder what could be done with today's construction techniques.
