POWER CATAMARANS

The power catamarans built by the Multihull Centre have been developed and designed as power boats and are not sailing cat hulls with large engines fitted.  They are built using high tech materials which gives a strong, light boat with a good power to weight ratio. This means that for a given speed, smaller engines are required and savings on fuel and running costs can be considerable.

Power catamarans are very fast, versatile and manoeuvrable.  They offer enormous stability, seaworthiness and a safe stable working area.  Large cockpits make the boats adaptable for many work demands. Ideal uses for Power catamarans are:

  • Dive Boats

  • Fishing Boats

  • Sport Fishing Boats

  • Trip Boats

  • Harbour Launch

  • Passenger Ferry

  • Customs/Police Launch

  • Leisure Cruiser

Very efficient hull shapes produce a clean comfortable motion and power is directed into moving the boat, not pushing water out of her way.  Photographs show that there is no wave interaction between the hulls and that there are two clean wakes, one from each hull.

Introducing the Signature 595

from BENNETT POWER CATAMARANS

This is a new design of cat, combining the proven and highly successful hull design of renowned designer/builder Keith Bennett, with modern materials and building techniques. The 595 has been designed as a versatile and practical alternative to the run of the mill monohulls in this category.

The unique feature of this cat is the high tunnel between the hulls which is the key to it's superior rough weater capabilities, allowing full speed into head seas with none of the slamming suffered by low bridgedecks. This design feature also means the boat can be heavily loaded and still not suffer slamming. The 2.5m beam means the 595 is within the legal towing width limit, but still has sufficient beam for stability in the water. The slim hulls means the boat moves effortlessly through the water creating very lttle wash thus making the boat extremely efficient. In fact with twin 25hp ouboards will give speeds of up to 20 knots. The steering is hydraulic using the Bullhorn system which is reliable and robust.

The deck is sealed, self draining and high grip. Beneath the deck each hull is divided into four watertight compartments giving exceptional levels of sealed bouyancy for added peace of mind. Stainlees steel keel bands protect the bottom of the boat. There are various lockers for storage, holding a total of 1,400 litres.
