Product Description
Cat 254 Plans
This is the latest racing version of the CAT 25 and embodies a long waterline hull with a light weight construction using tortured ply. The pre-shaped sides are simply stitched to the bottom and epoxied at a set angle. The 6mm sides are then pulled up producing a round sectional shape. This gives a very light but stiff hull which simply uses bunk tops and shelves as longitudinal stiffening. Four berths can be fitted into the hulls along with basic cooking and toilet facilities to comply with the MOCRA Rules. Apart from being a racing catarmaran the CAT 254 is also an ideal platform for fast cruising.
