  • I live on my 32 foot catamaran. The one thing I don't get is: why a folding cat? are you just trying to be able to park it in a little slip meant for a monohull?

  • that is one reason. the second is to be able to tow it.

  • @udannlin Please explain, as a 'normal' cat can be towed too... The beam construction is more complicated and heavy then normal too. Except for the trailering (which could be nice for some people) I mostly see downsides.

  • @bbwsr availabilities of berths are also another reason why cats these size are not easy to own. not only are the end berths expensive, they are also scarce.

  • check out the manufacturers site at cat2fold dot com

  • exercise is good tho too many americans are obese, they need to do some work.

  • I remember of an american couple who build such a sailcraft for trailering once a year to Baja California. Looks like a good alternative to a F31/Corsair 31

  • has anyone else noticed its not in the water?

  • Is it a protoype? It looks very homemade

  • why ?

  • Since all boats compromise in one or more aspects and each is designed for a specific purpose and reason, all I can really say is: This is one beautiful sailboat.

  • this could be a great boat for lake sailors who would want a littel larger boat to sail and easier to store in winter i see a few positives in this design

  • @nearadyn it more ease to transport it

  • Burp

  • @udannlin I own a Cat too, not foldable, even a little smaller the yours (23.5 foot (model is an 'Aventura' from go-catamarans in France)) and have 4 pretty comfortable beds 92cm wide. Yet your cat will be faster without a doubt... my beams are a bit wider to have a little more comfort. This configuration sleeps 4 adults (yet not at the comfort level many current boaters like ;) It's ment for real sailing not hanging around in the harbour (just like yours).
