The first ECOnomy cruiser was designed 2002. The first multihull with a negative bow, by the way. The boat is built in many parts of the world From the UK, Russia the Americas.  
The ECO is a perfect trailer/sailor. With its empty weight of only 290 kg, the boat can be towed with a small trailer with a medium size car.
After many requests is the original version with the rounded bow is still available, it is up to you which you would like to
build *
It stays that the ECO is a perfect first time boat building project. The boat has been proven to be, in capable hands, a perfect coastal cruiser with voyages to Alaska.
For the layout of the boat, see drawing.

Read the FAQ why I will stay with the wood/glass fiber/Epoxy composite construction system. The result is a light and fast catamaran. The single chine hulls are easy to build. The cabin sides are made from a single sheet of plywood.

The bill of materials is part from the study plan to calculate the costs for materials

The K-designs group is very active. The group has more than 850. The members help each other, respectively inform about progress. There are more than 2000 pictures from different boats, in different state of construction. It is a pool of information boats.
