For anyone considering a new medium-size power cat, keep an eye on the website of Maine Cats www.mecat.com. The owner, Dick Vermuelen is developing a new 36-foot power cat, designed for a couple to go cruising in the islands for long stretches. I've seen his sailing catamarans at boat shows, and they seem well-built. His design goal is to build a power cat that is very fuel-efficient. His sailing catamarans lean toward simplicity, open deck space and light weight. I have no connection to his company. Dick is seeking input from possible buyers, so if you are interested please contact him. John Schieffelin Jamestown, RI
