Re: Power Catamaran

Interisting and very nice boats these Cats...But, with the Chris White Cat's I've looked at costing from US$ 395,000 to US$ 1,500,000, second hand, they are right out of my price bracket. I now know why Cat Man Do and others are building their own Cats and I'm sure Cat Man Do and the others, will have beaut Cat's when they'er finished building.
I would love a Cat, or a Tri but I would have to build a Cat, ply and West system, and I'm now to long-in-the-tooth to start building any boat so I guess I'll be happy with the mono I end-up with

From the link above
Chris White Powercat 40
Price: NZD 195000

Thats $152,357 aud which I'm sure you'll agree is a lot less than US$395,000 to US$1,500,000

Yes CMD, I seen that and I do reckon it's a good price.
I believe this 40' Australian Registered Granger Cat at $135 thou' is a better deal (No AU duties or tax) but at the asking price, it is still well out of my price bracket of $80,000AU max. And the owner of that 40' AU cat is firm on his asking price.
Never mind, I don't need the boat tomorrow so I can keep my eyes and my options open.

Re: Power Catamaran

There is a new brand coming out of the middle east called Parallelyachts. Very cool looking power cats , very fast and look a bit different than all the square cats you see around. check out Parallel Yachts - a boat manufacturer specialising in innovative pleasure craft designs, aiming to create a practical, yet exciting product. .The Z10 is very cool looking boat.
