Single outboards on catamarans can have cavitation issues, caused by severe turbulence to the propeller. Roger added that one of the benefits of the ‘plastic’ construction is that the boats are totally recyclable and what is a boat today may one day be melted down and turned into a rubbish bin.

The fully asymmetric hulls have an additional sacrificial wear plate aft, which is welded to the aft section of each hull. There is around 400 litres of buoyancy built in to the hull, so should you hole it, it will float. You have the option of a plastic floor, U-Deck or even alloy cheque plate. There are also additional plywood floor panels glued in to make the boat even stiffer. Interestingly that’s about the equivalent weight of a similar sized grp or alloy powercat. Constructed from a single skin high density polyethelene the 210 kg hull is a single piece with side decks hot welded after.
