Asymmetrical twin hulls this unique design concept comes from the drawing board of larry graf, the pioneer who put power catamarans on the map here in the u.s. when he founded glacier bay boats in 1987. his new company, aspen powerboats, employs a cat design where one hull is narrower (35 percent) than the other.. The catamaran is a ship design with an interesting history. the twin-hull design was first observed by europeans in india in the late 17th century, but it was actually invented by south pacific islanders.. Catamarans range in size from small (sailing or rowing vessels) to large (naval ships and car ferries). the structure connecting a catamaran's two hulls ranges from a simple frame strung with webbing to support the crew to a bridging superstructure incorporating extensive cabin and/or cargo space..
Some of those catamaran powerboats are simply regular single hull powercats with the middle of the hull chopped out. while that may be slightly better than the single-hulled boat, it is still not quite right.. We design modern high performance multihull sailing yachts. we work with leading engineers, artisans, and technicians world wide, using creativity innovation and state of the art technologies to bring those designs to life.. Schionning designs are the leading composite multihull and yacht designers, specialising in power and sailing catamaran and boat design with fully pre-cut material kits including comprehensive cad-drawn construction plans..
