BoatCraft's 9.5 m catamaran has been designed to offer exhilarating racing performance combined with comfortable accomodation for 5 - 6 people for cruising weekends and holidays. It has all the features of much larger boats, cleverly designed into a compact economical craft.. The boat is also available as a comfortable live-aboard power cat. It will have particular appeal to both private owners, and to hire fleet operators seeking a small economical easily handled boat. The vessel, from multihull designer Ashley Holliday, is based on the highly efficient Thruster hull form. These narrow, low resistance hulls are very easily driven, and with their long waterline they provide exceptional stability and performance. At 4.23 m, the beam has been kept to a minimum which results in a compact, highly manouvreable, light weight craft, with lower construction costs, and which can utilise a standard marina berth - another cost saving feature. The hull weight should be around 1500 kg, with a design displacement to 2500 kg. Cruising speeds of 10 - 12 knots can be anticipated, with faster passages under racing conditions.
