About Catalac Catamarans |
Catalac Catamarans are one of the finest Cruising Catamarans for the money on the market today, as well as one of the best built boats in the world. Surveyors have been known to refer to Catalacs as the Hinckley of Cruising Catamarans (for those of you who aren't familiar with the term ...it's a huge compliment). With 600 cruising catamarans built, 
they are a boat building success story as well as one of the pioneers
in production cruising catamaran building. Well known in Europe, Catalacs
are not so well known in America, even though the highest volume catamaran
builder in the world (Gemini) is part of the Catalac family tree. So,
I created this web site as an information resource, for American Sailors.
More on Catalac Catamarans hereI would imagine you're interested in buying a Cruising Catamaran, or you probably wouldn't be reading this page. Hopefully, you still have an open mind and are in the data collecting stage. Cruising Catamarans are relatively expensive boats and if you're anything like me, you're interested in finding less expensive alternatives to $300,000 boats. I'm not a boat broker, I don't sell boats for a living and this is a non profit site which should be a good boat resource as the information it contains is the direct result of the research I did when I began searching for my Cruising Catamaran, including why I selected a Catalac. If you are planning on buying a boat this site might save you a considerable amount of money and lead to years of happy sailing. At the beginning of my boat search, I'd never heard of Catalac Catamarans and was searching for a completely 
different boat. Yet as I dug deep into the realm of pre owned Cruising Catamarans
and learned about all available options, they rose right to the top
of the proverbial list. The information found at that time became the
nucleus of this web site. Since that humble beginning, what started
as a boat buying research project has expanded over the years as Catalac
boat owners have sent boat related information to me for inclusion on
this site. As of Summer of 2010 there's more than 60 pages of information
on this website including the new '
Catamaran For Sale Page'. .Why I bought a Catalac catamaran? page is about how I arrived at the decision to select a Catalac 8M. If you're curious about cruising catamarans, I think it's worth reading as there's some valuable information on that page concerning Catalac Catamarans. If not, feel free to explore the other pages. I enjoy receiving emails from readers, and if I'm able, I'll also answer questions on the boats via email.  The latest addition to the
website is the ' Catamaran For Sale
Page'. For those who enjoy technical discussions, you'll find the
Propeller drag test very interesting,
and if considering a Catalac purchase, Catalac
boat inspection is a must read. Now .. on to my story.....Why I bought a Catalac catamaran? |
