This is an overview of our entire range of catamarans, including sail and power.

Wilderness KIT Catamarans
Our Wilderness range of cats are built using pre-glassed, balsa or foam cored composite panels. Full pre-cut KITS are available with the option of pre-cut furniture kits as well Available in sizes 859 (8.5m) & 930(9.3m)(these 2 not in kit form), 1030(10.3m) 1100(11m), 1230 (12.30), 1320(13.2m), 1480 (14.8m) and 1620 (16.20). Standard plans are available if you don't wish to purchase the pre-cut kit option. The Wilderness construction method offers an extremely quick and simple solution to building whether you're a professional or amateur builder.

Aquaplay Power Catamarans
Our Aquaplay range of power cats are perfect live-aboard, long distance cruisers. With higher displacement and fuller beam to length ratio's than the Prowlers, they will cruise around 12 knots economically and very comfortably. Construction is strip planked Durakore or Western Red Cedar with composite panels for flat areas and furniture.

Alaskan Power Catamarans
The Alaskan Power Catamaran range fits between our Prowler and Aquaplay designs. The Alaskan 390 (11.9m) follows a "Classic" look while the 460 (15.9m) is more the "Trawler" style of cat. Both cats have the same underwater section with economical cruising speeds of around 15-16 knots. Very much family boats capable of ocean crossings - our real passagemakers. Both strip planked designs, the 360 offers an option of pre-made molded components for the major shell construction with full pre-cut interior kit. These can be shipped anywhere in the world.

Cosmos Catamarans
Our Cosmos range of catamarans are most suited to cruising. They are very efficient sailing cats with all the features you'd want in a true round the world cruiser. Starting at 9.3m, we also have an 11m, 11.6m, 12.5m (option in survey), a 13.2m, 14.3m (also option in survey) and 17.5m. This range of cats has been very well proven with many launched and sailing. Construction is strip planked Durakore or Western Red Cedar.

Growler Catamarans
The Growlers are a little different. They are fast, comfortable, safe cats that can be raced competitively short handed. Accommodation is limited with no headroom in the bridgedeck. Availabe 11.5m and 15m.

Waterline Catamarans
Our Waterline sailing catamaran range are performance/cruisers. Their long slim hulls offer exceptional sailing performance yet they have fantastic accommodation options for cruising. Being slim hulls they are only for the serious sailor who will be very concious of weight limitations and restrictions in every area, during construction and when sailing. Waterline cats are built with Durakore strip planking. If strict weight criteria are met, they make fantastic cruising cats. Sizes 11.6 metre, 13.2 metre, 14.8 metre, 16.2 metre and 17.5 metre.

Prowler Power Catamarans
The Prowler range of Power Cats use a semi-displacement hull shape that allows speeds over 20 knots. The range includes a 7m, 9m (production & kit only), 11m, 420(42'), (400 & 450 - production in South Africa) and 580(58'). Their very efficient hull shapes reduce fuel consumption and so give them exceptional economy and cruising capabilities. Some Prowlers are production built, some have kits available and others are available in plan form being strip planked Durakore - check each individual design.

Radical Bay Sailing Catamarans
The Radical Bay designs will appeal to those looking for something a bit different, yet simple, efficient and economical.

Line Honours Catamarans
Our Line Honours designs are our really lean, mean, sailing machines. They are extremely good looking, extremely efficient sailing designs, and no doubt provide extreme fun! They don't however provide 'extreme' comfort but do have surprisingly good accommodation. If you choose efficiency above comfort take a look...
