Tamar 31
Designed by Richard Woods
A 9.5 m (31 ft) cruising catamaran by Richard Woods of Woods Designs, in essence a hard-chine plywood Eclipse with the same interior, rig and deck layout. A more upright stem accounts for the shorter length, and the hull sections differ little from the original. Beam 6.0 m, about 3 tonnes empty, 65 sq m of main and genoa, 1.85 m headroom in the saloon and 2.2 m in the hulls, with 1.35 m wide bunks.
The build photos on the page come from a first-time boatbuilder who was well into both hulls four weeks in. Woods lists 2,700 hours as a practised builder's minimum for the Eclipse, so budget 3,000 to 5,000 for this simpler hull as a rule of thumb. Real hours from logged builds are below.
What building a Tamar 31 actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
