Afternoon all,
Some updates on Conepatus. From cruising the Maine coast in 2011 I have better fuel numbers .... At 5-6kts burn is 5kmpg (nautical miles / gal), at 20kts burn is 1.8kmpg, and at 34kts burn is 1.1kmgp.
The original numbers were before we loaded her down for cruising. Not sure what Bob Rosborough is asking for the #2 hull, but I suspect around $170k. As equipped Conepatus would cost around $240k to build. Not a cheap boat, but cruising in 2011 with a Prout Snow Goose and a 47' monohull, it fulfilled its design criteria. On a 100mile day the sailboats left at zero dark thirty, we left around 0900. We would pass them around 1030hrs, and be in port around 1400hrs. Go for ice cream, read a book, and have dinner ready for all at 1800hrs.
As for stability and sea keeping, I used a bit of bad judgement and tried to go out the Kennebec River on the day after Irene passed. The river was rising, the tide was in full flood and I tried to go out the entrance. We made it most of the way out when I chickened out, after looking around the point and seeing what seas I would have to run parallel to.
Nice thing about a stable boat, rubber life rings are stable, I could spin her on the top of a breaker, and then have the power to run on the back side holding position on the backside till we entered the harbor. Went out the next day at 20kts.
So far the boat has lived up to expectations for a fast, trailerable 2 person cruising boat.

The boats (barges) that they use for river maintenance on the Potomac have 7 or * big outboards on them. They have a number of these boats rigged that way. |

Gee's ... and I thought I'd discovered something New!
I guess 'ol Casey was asleep at the switch back in 2012 when this thread was on 'Brats.
A day late and a dollar short; that's me!
Best,
Casey&Mary

WOW - its crazy what you miss when your lap top bites the dust and leaves you off line for a couple of weeks. Imagine my surprise last night when I discovered that one of my "dream" boats is now for sale!! The one of a kind, Canadian born - CONEPATUS. Just in time for Christmas - and I think I've been good this year!
Craig the owner is a Cbrat - not sure if he is retiring from boating or re-boating. He just turned 70 this summer - wishing him well.
Regards, Rob |

I noted that a few weeks ago on the Rosborough site. Very interesting boat--apparently wanted to take it to Panama, but never panned out... _________________ Bob Austin

Funny I saw this boat last year ?? at the cabelas by my house. I hung out for a while and took pictures but never meet the owners. The tubes where deflated and the anchor was almost as big as the boat. Looked like fun _________________ Thomas J Elliott

Here is the boat on Yacht World.
For whatever reason, it is not linked to Marc's new site. It really is a beast of a boat! Probably capable of getting to Panama on its own bottom.
It is not obvious from previous posts, but Here is the blog on Conepatus. Well worth a read! |

Harvey, also here is the link to Craig and Sarah's blog - http://conepatus.wordpress.com/
The owners blog has some better pics. I would love to see a professionally "staged" album for this boat.
And yes it does have twins

Tom, years ago somewhere on Cbrats I read this,,
When a Cbrat was asked how big of an anchor was needed his response was -
"If you are tied up and people walking the docks don't go by point at your anchor and LAUGH hysterically - then it isn't big enough" !!
Never forgot that one!
