Owners thoughts ....

FatCat owners are varied in their primary use and enviroments but they all have one thing in common - they rave about their boats!

FatCat 4000 (Tiller) - Great Barrier Island

Having a boat-only access property comes with plenty of challenges - the FatCat solved so many of them. The space and stability mean it can be loaded with building supplies, gear and people safely. Added plus is our teens & their mates use it as a pontoon for popping manu's!

• FatCat 4500

Used the boat a number of times last week in different conditions and it continues to impress beyond my expectations.

My world has opened up dramatically going from a 4m alloy dinghy to a FatCat 4000. It's easily tripled in size in terms of comfort, distance I can travel, stability, space, size, height. We do things in this boat we’d never dream of in the other - It’s just so easy. I use the boat for fishing, diving, snorkling. I catch Kingi’s off it.

Power Cats – The past, present & future

As power catamarans thrive as one of the fastest growing sectors in the boating market, it’s timely to consider the variations of power catamarans, their hull types, performance capabilities and the features they offer new owners in their boating lifestyle.

Power catamarans, once considered a niche within the boating world, are steadily comprising a bigger slice of the market. They offer a wide range of options in performance, comfort and interior & exterior layouts. From sleek planing vessels to efficient displacement hulls, the power catamaran market delivers a large variety of designs to meet the needs of a wide variety of cruisers in New Zealand and Australia. Brands around the world specialise in producing hundreds of production power cats every year including Fountaine Pajot, Iliad and Aquila. As we featured in a company profile last year, the Aquila brand for example offers eight power catamaran models in three categories from 9.38m to 21.26m.

Ranging from 10m to more than 30m, power catamarans from overseas and local designers can be configured for applications from coastal cruising to adventurous longrange voyages. With that in mind, it’s helpful to identify your goals and the attributes that will best help you achieve them in regards to comfort, cruising times, fuel budget, and even the relationships of those onboard – a family with children, teenagers or grandchildren; several couples; a skipper and deckie with charterers; bare boat charterers; a group of young surfers or retirees on their swansong – all will have different preferences in cooking styles, accommodation, watersports, time constraints, sleeping options, and preferences in the boat’s motion at anchor and at sea. With local and overseas designers and builders contributing to the expanding power catamaran market, there are plenty of options. 

In the mid 1970s powerboat designers started creating boats in which the galley was ‘up’ not ‘down’. They drew windows larger to create light, spacious-feeling interiors. Ventilation improved and equipment such as marine hot water systems, electric toilets, marine refrigeration and gas stoves became available at more realistic prices. However, accommodation was still a limiting factor. Only the bigger boats had choices with spacious cabins. For the smaller boats, with narrow hulls compared to modern boats, sleeping accommodation was more like camping or caravanning, with little privacy and don’t even think about ensuites. Crews tended to be groups of guys or one family per boat. But while onboard comfort was improving rapidly with modern developments, for some there was still a major factor in whether or not they would go boating: the powerboat’s motion and its effects on sensitive stomachs, particularly at anchor.

Stability on power catamarans 

For many, stability is a major attraction of the power catamaran and most power catamaran owners will proudly have a bowl of fruit on the saloon table, just because they can. In particular, the beamy non-planing power catamarans demonstrated greater stability underway and at anchor. 

Increased deck space 

The power cat’s generous beam creates expansive deck space and interior volume, especially because this generous beam extends forward almost to the bow and aft to the stern. This consistency of beam creates a lot of deck space in terms of area and usable space. Imagine viewing a cruising power catamaran from above – it is almost rectangle in shape, with just a small taper going forward.

Large internal volume and accommodation 

The interior volume of the power catamaran and its twin hulls provides plenty of options for private cabins. Often there is a cabin in each corner; ie. for’ard and aft in the port and starboard hulls. This option is ideal for the bareboat charter market where privacy is important as the charter cost is often shared between four couples on holiday. This also works well for multi-generational family groups with kids taking one corner and adults the other. In shared boat ownership, a cabin or entire hull can be locked off when one of the owners is not on board. A 12m power cat with a flybridge can have four sleeping cabins with two shared ensuite bathrooms and a 13-14m power cat could have four cabins with ensuites if desired. Modern boaters love interior volume, which is why most production boats, monohulls and multihulls, have plumb stems, and wide and high-sided hulls to provide large cabins. These features are not always advantageous offshore, but when comparing boats at the marina or boat shows, interior volume can be a big factor in making a sale. The wider individual hulls of these planing coastal cruising power cats provide large floor space for bunks and bathrooms, and higher static stability than narrower, more fuel-efficient hull designs. 

Going cruising 

In New Zealand, unless you leave the country, all cruising is coastal and the distances between refuelling facilities are relatively short, therefore the planing type power catamaran will be acceptable as it will have the range at sprint speed to make ports and avoid the type of conditions for which it is less suited. With Australia’s extensive coastline, these planing type boats generally need to cruise at displacement speed to get the range required between refuelling facilities. For this reason, they need to plan their trip carefully around weather patterns to minimise the risk of being caught out at sea, as they do not have the range at high speed to outrun them. We therefore see a greater and more consistent demand for the long range cruising power cats in Australia, which leads us to the characteristics of different hull forms. This is not to say that production planing power catamarans cannot undertake longer passages; it just means they will have to do so at displacement speed. Likewise a power catamaran designed and optimised for long range offshore cruising will still make an excellent coastal cruiser, however it will generally have less internal volume for accommodation. 

The hull story 

At the heart of every power catamaran lies its hull form, which dictates its performance characteristics. There are three primary hull types: displacement, semi-displacement and planing. Each type addresses different priorities, from fuel efficiency to speed and stability. 

Planing Powercats – the need for speed 

Planing power cats are designed for exhilarating performance, featuring medium to high deadrise hulls that skim across the water’s surface. These vessels prioritise speed, utilising hard chines to reduce wave drag and achieve impressive speeds. Notable examples include Pachoud Yachts’ Voodoo foil-assisted power cats, renowned for their high-speed capabilities and sleek design. Planing powercats can and do successfully undertake ocean passages; for example, the trans-Tasman crossings of the Roger Hill-designed, 17.5m Voodoo which covered the 1229nm in 53.5hrs @ 23 knots average in 2023. Semi-Displacement Cats – balancing speed and comfort Semi-displacement power cats offer a blend of speed and comfort, making them ideal for leisurely cruising and extended voyages. With their good sea-keeping abilities and moderate speeds, these vessels prioritize fuel economy and spacious interiors. Models like Fusion Marine’s Prowler 10.8 and Fountaine Pajot’s Cumberland 47 exemplify this balance, providing comfortable accommodation and efficient performance for cruising. Later in 2024, we anticipate the launch of two de May Spaceship 18m semi displacement power cats, both semi bespoke custom builds, from the drawing board of Roger Hill Yacht Design, built by Nic de May Yachts using hi-tech materials and systems. (Check an issue of Powerboat magazine later this year for the full review).

Displacement Cats – prioritising stability and economy 

Displacement power cats prioritize stability and fuel efficiency over speed, offering a steady and economical cruising experience. Designed with long, narrow and easily-driven hulls, these vessels excel in seaworthiness and comfort. Notable examples include the Horizon PC60 and the Peter Bradydesigned Rehab, renowned for their economic performance and excellent sea-keeping capabilities. As with any displacement boat, it pays to experiment with different speeds in different conditions to find what is most comfortable on the day. It’s possible for displacement cats, provided they are long enough, to run upwards of 25 knots with standard underwater running gear. The late Kiwi designer Malcolm Tennant enjoyed considerable success over the years, especially with his displacement catamarans. His approach was the ‘long and thin’ style of easily driven, round bilge, minimum wetted surface hulls that gave great performance and sea keeping capability with excellent fuel economy.

OTHER TYPES OF POWER CATAMARANS ON THE MARKET

The Sports Fishing Power Catamaran 

With its shorter coast line, the New Zealand sports fishing cats are more likely to be of the planing hull type, whereas in Australia where long range is more important, they are often displacement hulls. Either of these hull shapes make an excellent sports fishing boat for their stability at rest and narrow transoms which allow them to back down fast if required. They differ from the volume type of power cat in their aft decks or cockpits which are designed around fishing rather than sun bathing. Expect to see multiple rod holders, bait boards, kill tanks, live bait tanks, ice makers and usually generous refrigeration to handle the beer and the fish.

The high speed foil assisted power catamaran 

This type is a relatively new development; it is a small market on the cutting edge of technology and materials. Because of the need to keep the hull bottom and particularly the foils clean and smooth, these boats will need to be well looked after to perform as designed. Their foils may be vulnerable to debris damage which may restrict their operating areas. They have proven that, with the right weather window, they can make ocean passages.

Long-range offshore cruising versus coastal cruising 

In comparing power catamarans for different types of cruising, consider these qualities for a long-range offshore power catamaran:- 

• Generally narrower, more fuel efficient hulls for a high cruising speed over long distances; 
• Raked bows for a softer, drier ride; 
• Large fuel capacity and usually old school, mechanically-injected diesel engines that are more tolerant to low-quality fuel – sometimes a concern at remote, foreign ports; 
• Large engine rooms with, preferably, internal access so that deck hatches do not need to be opened in rough conditions to check the engines.

The attraction of power catamarans

For many boaters, stability and comfort are paramount when choosing a vessel. Power catamarans, with their wider beam and dual-hull configuration offer good stability, which is a factor in reducing seasickness, and a manageable platform for passengers of all ages. For this reason some power monohulls are available with stabilsers and fins which enhance stability underway and at anchor. Of course, some people prefer the motion of monohulls and the ability to steady yourself from hand-hold to hand-hold in rough conditions, whereas there are often wide spaces between hand holds on the power catamaran. 

When floor space is important, the spacious layout of power catamarans allows for versatile interior configurations. From expansive saloons to private cabins and outdoor entertainment areas, these vessels offer ample space for relaxation and socializing, above and below deck. The performance of a power catamaran reflects its power-to-weight ratio and hull design. While planing vessels prioritise horsepower for high-speed planing, displacement cats rely on hull shape for efficient cruising. Understanding these dynamics helps boaters choose the optimal power configuration for their vessel, balancing performance with fuel efficiency. It is a matter of considering hull length, displacement, power requirements, accommodation, comfort and speed when selecting the most suitable boat for your requirements.

BOAT REVIEW Herley 3400 Electric Power Catamaran

• Silent running
• High quality fit-out
• Latest electric tech
• 2400nm range at 8 knots
• Operation leaves minimal carbon footprint

The hottest topic in boating today is electric propulsion, and right now the Herley 3400 is perhaps the most luxurious yet practical electric boat in New Zealand. We had to travel to Tauranga to take her for a spin – it was definitely worth the journey.

This boat has been a long time coming – the culmination of almost four years incubation by Tauranga-based Herley Boats. Herley’s built a solid reputation with its premium range of custom aluminium boats, all featuring the trademark plumb bow and massive internal volume. It also has a couple of powercats under its belt, with a smaller model launched last year to trial some of the electric technology, and a much larger 5900 model on the drawing board. But it’s their Roger Hill-designed 3400 model (34 foot or 10.4m) that’s hit the sweet spot of luxury, comfort and practicality.

The key feature of this boat is the fully electric drive. Twin 100kW motors (peak output 60kW continuous rating) push this super-efficient hull to a top speed of a shade over 20 knots. The onboard battery bank allows her to run for a couple of hours at a more modest cruising speed. Top speed is not everything, and the ability to slip out of a marina berth completely silently is almost unreal. Since the motors can run literally from 1rpm (!) she is far, far, easier to manoeuvre at slow speed around a marina than most fossil-fuel boats which typically idle at just under 1,000rpm.

Style The 10.4m vessel (4.7m beam) stands out, with its grey sedan-style hull, smoky grey glass windows and contrasting tan-coloured decking and upholstery in the cockpit. The catamaran configuration provides space for two double cabins in the forward area, each with a generous size double bed. A toilet on the port side and separate shower to starboard provide facilities for extended cruising. The saloon area is beautifully finished in matching tan leather-look vinyl trim, and the walnut cabinetry and pure-white headliner is very stylish.

Controls The propulsion system’s supplied by Electric Boats (electricboats.biz). This includes the motors,controllers, helm display and controls, batteries and battery management system. The control and management system is available to other boatbuilders and is scalable – so it can be put into larger boats and configured to operate in other modes such as electric only, as well as connect to other systems. Helm controls are also simple to use. The left and right screens are conventional Garmin MFDs, user-configurable to show the skipper’s sonar and chart preferences. The middle screen houses the ‘smarts’ of the management systems, and the controls for the two electric motors.

Vindex 350 S

When the itch for another boat project required scratching a little over two years ago, de Fluiter decided that repurposing a Vindex 350 flybridge would be quicker than building another new boat.

Cora 48 Catamaran

Performance is modest, as expected for its power-to-weight ratio, but nearly 17 knots of speed was available when I used maximum throttle.

Beneteau First 44

Fifteen knots eased back to about 10 knots and the boat felt light on the helm, responding nicely to changes in wind pressure as they came through.

Buccaneer Five Seven Five

The spacious cockpit is uncluttered but has plenty of seating. The cockpit sole is covered in SeaDek. The bolster-equipped helm chairs are a decent size and proved comfortable even in the lumpy conditions we experienced.

12m Displacement Power Cat

12m alloy displacement hull.

There have been several variations of this design built in NZ by Alloy Cats.

This is a well proven displacement hull cat with a good turn of speed and very good fuel efficiency.

Optimum engine size is around 160 hp for a top speed of around 23 knots. A couple of iterations have used larger engines of 270 hp with a small gain in top speed and no real difference in economy. The larger engines are more difficult to access for servicing in the narrow displacement hulls as well. Some clients prefer to have more than enough power, it’s their choice.

There are several variations available to the original design, wider deck house, longer wing deck, longer deck house, composite top, alloy top, variations in the interior and cockpit layouts, commercial charter use, and private yachts.

One of the great advantages in building in alloy with a ‘base’ design is that these variations are not difficult to undertake as each boat is CNC cut and the design can be easily customised to suit individual client’s requirements, production boat building without the cost of moulds.
