Classic Rudy Choy C/S/K Design #52
| Vessel Toru Today |
The racing C/S/K catamaran Toru, dubbed "The Little Spruce Goose" or "The Son of Spruce Goose", was brought
to Canada in 1976 and put into a dry storage building and has been there for 30 years. The prior owner, during the
initial years, was in the process of turning the Toru into a weekender with a custom stand up cabin. Along with the
cabin refit, the plan included deck expansions by replacing the forward and aft netting with expanded metal decking.
The custom cabin has been fixed in place but not glassed on.
Please keep in mind both the custom cabin and the replacement metal decking can easily be removed to return the
Toru back to the original C/S/K design or complete the custom stand up cabin. Please refer to the original Rudy
Choy building plans in comparison to the refit plans. This is the only C/S/K catamaran made from Aircraft Grade
Sitka Spruce. You can see on the home page the condition of the Toru when she was taken out of the water and put
in storage. How she looks today is cosmetic from getting readied to be repainted and custom plans started.
Throughout these pages you will find pictures from the Toru's past, design plans, race records and other memorabilia.
