I would like to know which power catamarans have Malcolm Tennant's described displacement hull and CS stern. I see lots of designs on Tennant's website and I expect that these are displacement hulls and CS sterns. I really do like the concept and it seems that the Glacier Bay boats have show that full displacement boats do go fast. But I am a little uncomfortable ordering a one-off boat without a company to hold my hand.
Do any of the production boats (PDQ, Lagoon, Fontaine-Pajot, Catana, Privilege, Manta, Endeavor) have these displacement hulls and CS sterns? Or one or the other?
I sent Tennant's article to PDQ months ago and asked them to relate it to the PDQ 34, but got no reply. I suspect that these boats have some sort of semi-displacement/planing hulls to satisfy the need for speed and room in the hulls.
