85' Passenger Ferry Catamaran

An 85' passenger ferry catamaran in composite materials.
This 85' passenger ferry catamaran design is designed to carry up to 250 passengers on short trips. In the US the passenger limit would be 149.   The very efficient sailing cat type hulls take very little power and generate minimal wake.  980 hp per side gives 32 knots speed.   Construction is foam/glass.

This catamaran design takes fullest advantage of platen flat panel construction with a vacuum bagging table.  The house is assembled from flat panels, like a tilt-up building.  There is no faster way construct composite cats, this side of having the molds already. See the link tiltup.
