A very early, (and advanced for its time) cruising catamaran.
It is said that the original design (from an earlier builder) was appreciated more for its sailing performance than its interior amenities. In an effort to improve on the latter, the superstructure and other details underwent a number of changes over time.
A Mk II version has a masthead rig.
Pictured here is an earlier ‘day sailor’ version.
The JUMPAHEAD was introduced at about the same time as the Prout SHEARWATER, and was one of the earliest ‘production’ catamarans from the UK. It is thought that several hundred were built. In the early 1960’s, a very few of a fiberglass version were built by Grampian Marine of CAN.
The designer, Bill O’Brian, was one of the pioneers of racing and cruising cat design.
The CORNEEL 26 ‘LOVE’, features a centrally located cuddy (not connected to interior of hulls.
The CORNEEL 26S version does without the cuddy? and has more sail area.
