Description
The CAT 25 was designed to fit the Micro Multihull racing class as it was originally conceived. A set of plans is available to upgrade the standard design to fit the existing rules. Construction is similar to that of the CAT 19. Both boats incorporate external daggerboards which therefore do not encroach on the accommodation and are easy to install. 1/4" ply is used for most of the construction in both boats.
