This, not only unique but classic C/S/K has been
hidden away in dry storage for over 30 years.
Custom cabin modifications were planned yet
never completed. It is time someone bring the
Toru back to her former beauty.
The hulls were built from the same American
Airforce Sitka Spruce that was left over from
Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose. Toru was dubbed
the "Little Spruce Goose" or "Son of Spruce
Goose" and when last surveyed the Toru was
classified as above average construction.
Browse through the pages for past photos and
some of Toru's race history. Review the original
plans and the plans for her modifications. We have
quite a bit of documentation for you to review.
Don't miss your opportunity to own a one-of -a kind vessel with aircraft grade spruce construction by the best designer of catamarans, Rudy Choy and superior construction by builder Tom Sauter.
