A crew weight of 350–375 lb (160–170 kg) two adult males is the optimal crew for this 5.7-metre (18 ft 8 in) catamaran.

In 1960 he raced in the Easter regatta at Paynesville, Victoria, Australia, and won against a field of 300 boats. This initial success inspired others to build similar boats. Crowther then studied electrical engineering in Melbourne [2] and in the early 1960s became involved in multihull design and the Amateur Yacht Research Society. [3]
