Robert B. Harris, before 1965.

Robert B. Harris (born 1922[1]- died 2014) was an American multihull sailboat designer.

Career

He first became interested in multihulls after seeing a 40-foot catamaran in Hawaii, built by Alfred Kumalai and Rudy Choyone.[2]

The first catamaran I saw was from Hawaii. Man, this thing was fast!
