Robert B. Harris



Robert B. Harris (born 1922 - 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 Choy.

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