[PCW] Welcome back

[Tradesure]

Hi Georgs,

Happy New Year to you and it was great to know that you will be manning
the chat page again, especially Power Catamaran World

It is thru your chat page that many naval archtects have revised there 
ideas,
as a builder I have seen these ideas come through strongly over the past 
years,
as they have also had a lot to add.

I firmly believe that the power catamaran market is ready to make big in 
roads
over the next year especailly when the designers start designing a proper 
power
catamarans and not a tradeoff from a sailing version.

Two reason, value for money and strong economics.

It is great to learn, as a boat builder, that building in the Far East and 
Asia
is not going to be so cost affective as led to believe by many, and that 
gives us all
a far chance.

Our project this last year was to rival the upper end of the semi-rigid
market, which no builder has attempted to do, and so being,we developed a
17ft  assymmeterical hull wet deck powered catamaran.
After serious cutting, slicing here and there and other major surgery we 
finally
found the right formula, a Cat that can go at great speed with 2 x 40hp 
motors, (1 gal per
hour per motor at 18kts) carry a large load, as in dive bottles, fish, 
coolbox, 40gals of fuel,
and other supplies.
She is 65% foam filled, but still able to have huge dry lockers under the 
deck as we have
used the flush wet deck high freeboard configuration with low side gunnels, 
this allows us
to beach launch through the surf in most cruicial areas, without any danger 
of being swamped.
She is stable, virtually turns on her own axis and surfs the waves easily.
Cat C offshore rating, 15 miles offshore.
As a Trailable cat weighing only 1600 lbs and priced all up with trailer and 
motors at
$32.00 we are certainly going to give the Ribs a go for their money and we 
think it
about time.

best regards
Tim  Aventure PowerCatamarans
