I don’t see anything unusual about the hull design of this cat. Max depth of the hull is well aft to help prevent the boat trimming stern down when loaded. The rudder is well forward and I’d like to know the reason for that. The keel is short and aft and looks a bit more effective than the keels you see on many cruising cats. I used the lightship displacement for the D/L of 171, so I expect that will be optimistic.

You can choose from two layouts in this cat.  There is a three stateroom version with two staterooms in the port hull along with two heads. The heads share one shower stall. In the starboard hull there is a centerline double berth aft with a large head and shower stall all the way forward. If you want four staterooms you just mirror image the port hull layout into the starboard hull. The main cabin is on the bridgedeck and features the U-shaped galley to starboard and dinette forward. There is another dinette in the cockpit area and I suspect a lot of dining will be al fresco. But right now, right here it’s cold and rainy so the inside dinette seems inviting. The interior design is by Nauta Design.

The rig is a bit unusual in that the mast is stepped quite far aft. There is a standard mainsail or the option of a square-top mainsail. The square-top gains you 43 extra square feet of sail area. The large jib is self-tacking. The square-top main looks odd to my eye in that the chord of the sail at the head is almost the same as the chord at the foot. 

Auxiliary power is twin 45-horsepower Yanmar diesels with an option of 57-horsepower engines.
