New Idea Catamaran

Many owners want to charter but i think you will not find a berth ( 2-3 ) in the main season for a Cat Yacht.

Also owners wants to reduce the crew on the next boat.
So we have to think about a Yacht that is easy to maintain and to handle with a small crew.


I guess my Gamefishing Cat is a little small for your definition, but I was trying to keep it in a reasonable size to be handled by two crew if necessary. Certainly I could meet your power and range and economy desires.

I had hoped to find an exhibitor in the Dusseldorf Show where I might share a portion of their spot to display a model of this design. Didn't find one this year...maybe next year. But I will be in the Miami show Feb 17-21.
