This
28' powercat was designed to be like an all weather
pick-up truck on the water. The slender hulls, high
bridgedeck and sloping cabin allow it to power through
the worst weather. The wide beam reduces wave interference
beteen
the hulls. This design is very economical to operate
and created very little wake. With two motors it will
turn 360 degrees in its own length.
The
vessel pictured above is a stretched version, about
10% larger than stock. Motors can also be mounted on
the hull transoms. A pair of 50 hp outboards will push
it to a top speed of 24 knots if weight targets are
met.
See
www.catamaranconstruction.com for the process of the
cat above being constructed. Plans are available in
both plywood/epoxy CM and foam/glass construction. |
