At the recent Trawler Fest boat show in Stuart I noted the CS42 power cat appears to be back in production. This was an interesting 42-foot power cat that was developed by CS yachts in Canada several years ago. One was built and sold, then production ceased. At the Trawlerfest, I was told the owner of CS yachts had to deal with serious personal issues and stopped production for several years. Now the company wishes to re-start production. The basic design is attractive and offers a possible alternative to the PDQ 41, Endeavour 40/44, Manta 44, Maine Cat P47 and Africat 42. I'm not sure how to contact CS Yachts - perhaps the company would show up on a Google search. I recently received an e-mail from Maine Cats with drawings, specifications and pricing on the new P47 powercat. It appears to be a very efficient design, and much better looking than many powercats. I believe the company expects to have the first model afloat sometime this summer. Another interesting new powercat is the 37-footer developed by Nautic Blue charters. The company is trying to interest people in buying them and putting them into charter, but I imagine they would sell them outright as well. This new 37-footer will replace the Fontaine Pajot 37-foot powercats they still have in their charter fleets. Although the new 37-footer was designed for charter use, the layout appears very well suited to personal cruising use. Good to see new powercats on the market. J. Schieffelin Jamestown RI
