| The major revision in the Catalac 900 is the doghouse
has been changed to become an integral part of the boat, complete with
a wall and door separating it from the cockpit. Also unique to the 900
is that the helm position has been moved to become an internal helm
station in the rear of the saloon area (see layout). Obviously a cold
weather modification as tropical bound boats wouldn't consider this
preferable. Two boats were produced with dual helm stations, the 2nd
being installed in the cockpit. One or two folks have stated that this updated boat sails better than the 8M or 9M that preceded it. I'm scratching my head over this as the very same hull moulds of the older boats were used to mould this one. |
