The first two photos show her out of the water,showing her very fine raked and chined hulls.The photo of a MK1 shows how easily these cats take to ground.(The interior photos are of a similar boat in the PBO article).These catamarans are exceptionally strongly built. The elevation and plan drawings from Jim Andrews' book"Catamans for Cruising" are of a Mk.I Catalac 9M.Our MkII has more stylish windows and fixed rudders,(not the MKI fold-up dinghy-type rudders). The wheelhouse is open at the rear. When the hatch is slid forward,there is standing headroom aft of the saloon seat.

There are two forward cabins, a double to port & a single to starboard. (Many couples remove the plywood separation wall to create a very capacious owner's cabin)A single cabin in the port quarter, & a pilot berth amidships starboard.The saloon table even will drop to form another double berth The original Renault engines were replace by two more powerful Kubota diesel engines: one is 2-cylinder and the other is 3-cylinder.When motoring, only one engine need be used. The slab-reefed mainsail and jib have both been professionally refurbished, and a brand new sail bag is included.The foresail is roller-reefed.
