Did the club import the Maxi 77s? That is not a very common
boat, although there is one around here. My impression is
that it's pretty roomy for it's size. Another boat I am
curious about is the lapstrake one in the second pic, looks
to have a gaff or gunter rig. Is there any interest in
catamaran of skiff sailing in your area?

The Maxi 77s were imported by us (a group of friends) in our individual
capacity. They are not club owned.
The boat you are curious about almost belongs in a museum. Its the
Waterwag. Of Irish origin I am told. I believe there are just a few
left in the world. We have three of them in sea worthy condition! A
few in excellent condition exist in one of the clubs in Ireland where
one of our sailors recently visited.
I have not seen a catamaran sailed in our area. But about a couple of
hundred miles north of us there a few die hard sailors who race the
cats.
