Pierre, I very much enjoyed your post on this subject. We too, gave serious thought to the TrawlerCat 44, we particularly liked the spacious layout and the simplicity of the single-helm arrangement. The boat does "show well" at the dock. But, somewhat like your experience, we began to loose interest after a less than satisfactory factory visit. I gather it's a small family business and the son has yet to throw himself wholeheartedly into the affair. On the positive side though, the owners I've spoken with all seem very happy with their boats. The Endeavour TrawlerCat hulls were developed directly from their original line of sailing catamarans as an in-house effort -- no big name designers involved. While this seems to have resulted in a decent powercat (in my humble opinion) it's not state of the art. The aft tunnel design (on the 38, 40 and 44) does afford good prop protection, but it comes at the price of increased drag. These boats really aren't terribly efficient when compared to other powercats. The three larger models employ Yanmar 240's for a cruise speed of 15-16 kts. Interestingly enough, a Mainship 39 (or 40) will do just about the same with this power! We never got to the promised sea trial of the 44 (due to Endeavour disorganization) so I can't speak to that. But I remain curious about how these boats do in rough weather. I've got the feeling (not well documented) that many if not most TrawlerCats are used primarily for fair-weather inland and near-shore cruising, and I suspect their heavy weather performance is no better than the Lagoon 43 you described in a previous post. Finally (I believe it was in a "Power of Multihulls" article) that I remember seeing some pretty high noise level readings for this boat at cruise speed, but I'm not sure if this is really an issue. Did you ever get out for a sea trial, Pierre? Just my thoughts for the day. Any owners out there? I'd love to hear a first hand report on the TC-44. Henry PS: Hope we can meet up sometime, your boat sounds excellent -- perhaps at the "Meow" this summer/fall? In a message dated 3/28/2005 10:37:33 P.M.
