Hi first post on this forum. I saw a cat today in Cartagena Marina Spain and really liked the look of her. Her name was Dr Martin or Dr martun with a German flag around 35-38 ft, she had a aft cockpit that ran across the full width of the boat and had three separate entrance ways, it looked like the bridge deck cabin was self contained, she was steered by a connected bar, had transom rudders that lifted. Wish I had taken a picture.To my eyes a very sea going boat. Can any one help with model type. Thanks

Maybe a sort of an Edel cat?

They are quite popular wit German sailors.

The Edel cats don't have lifting transom hung rudders, that I know of. Also the Edels don't have a cockpit that spans the entire width of the boat. Possibly a custom build?

Possibly the Fountaine Pajot Louisiana 37?

Thanks guys but it is none of the above suggested. The cockpit was well protected by the super structure which flowed from centre pod to hulls giving a monocoque design, the three campanionways all faced aft with the cockpit running right across the yacht. It just looked right,not top heavy. If it was a custom build it was done very well she appeared to be make of grp. John
