PLANNED 50 FOOTER

Designs and plans have been created for this 50 foot power catamaran which would be ideal in the charter boating world. Designed to cater for 12 people, the boat has all the facilities an owner would need to have himself and / or his clients a comfortable and unforgettable holiday. Advantages of this hull over conventional boats currently used for charter are the performance, comfort and fuel economy, allowing skippers to get their clients to the ideal diving / fishing / site-seeing venues quickly and comfortably, without costing a fortune in fuel bills. The boat would be ideally suited to run on a pair of 140Hp outboard engines and should achieve 20 knots comfortably. With her sleek lines and attractive looks, this boat is bound to draw plenty of attention.

 

ONCE-OFF 67 FOOTER

This is a once-off 67 foot catamaran designed and being built for long distance pleasure cruises. Again, the emphasis is on comfort, performance and fuel efficiency. The boat will be powered by a pair of 100Hp inboard engines and has the facilities to carry aboard all the toys for an amazing holiday, e.g. 4 wheeler quad bike, microlight aircraft, runabout tender, diving gear etc etc. It is expected to achieve 20 knots comfortably.

PLANING HULLS

Having built more than 1000 planing hulls such as the boats shown, Supercat has evolved into building displacement catamarans, because it is felt that the displacement concept is the way of the future, with performance, economical fuel / running costs, comfort and fishability all being features of the concept.

It was thus decided to sell the moulds and tooling for the planing hulls early in 2006, so as to generate needed factory space to establish new displacement hull production lines.

 

 

WIG

While building incredible power catamarans, time is also spent on researching and developing new concepts for the world of water sports and transport. This craft called the WIG (Wing In Ground-effect) is a concept craft designed and currently under testing as a high speed means of transport, which flies just above the surface of the water and is propelled using water jets or, as in this case, an outboard motor. It is envisioned as an ideal means of transporting people across expanses of water comfortably, safely and quickly.

SPEED RECORD DOUBLED!

Supercat prides itself in being able to say that when it comes to the various aspects of boating, any goals that are set, are achieved. Here, wanting to achieve and learn more about performance power boating, this hull was designed and developed as the ultimate racing machine. Running in the junior powerboat racing category (<250cc i.e. 15Hp , open class), one of Supercat's very own achieved gold at most race meetings and broke the South African Water speed record for its class, very nearly doubling the existing record!
