I just saw an add listing this cat for sale....
The add however does not tell what kind of boat this is, it is listed as a 34 ft...
Supposedly built in 1976...
Anybody has an idea what I am looking at ?
The hulls look like those of the Iroquois. The confusing part is the windows (portholes). It has the look of an old British catamaran meant to survive in the open ocean.
Unless they altered the sailplan, it shouldn't be too much of an issue as I understand it. YMMV, but I recall several other small cats having a slight extension of the hulls, much like this one has done, to increase the cargo carrying capacity and add buoyancy aft—often to counteract the addition of davits or other fairly heavy equipment aft.
I like the steps aft. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to get on mine from a dinghy, since it will be at a mooring. Probably I'll just hang a swim ladder off rear of the cockpit.
