Paper Tiger

Paper Tiger
One of our most active sailors is Alex. He sails a catamaran and he just loves to run circles around us during the regattas on Sundays. The Paper Tiger is Ron Given's first and most famous catamaran design, intended for one man competition; but often sailed two-up. 700 are currently racing in NZ and there are large fleets in Australia and South Africa. It was designed in 1967 mainly for amateur construction in plywood; but fibre glass production hulls are increasing in popularity.
