Maine Cat P-47
Welcome aboard, Glenn and Pam, and congratulations on your new boat!
http://www.mecat.com/power/poweroverview.htm
Looks like you're going to have yourself a fine yacht. The flying
bridge nicely rounds out the look of the Maine Cat in profile.
Why don't you give us an update before the launch date? It would be
interesting to hear how your interior turned out.
After the boat is splashed and commissioned, it would be neat to
organize photos and a sea-trial report for Power Catamaran World.

finally we made our decision: we are now having a P-47 being built
for us up
at maine cat for delivery june 2010. maine cat is letting us design
the
interior as a part of the deal. we are also having the roof top
extended so
we can enclose the cockpit, and we'll have a flybridge as well.

we will be pleased to do that, georgs. probably will be at least mid-june as
it stays cold in maine for a long time!!

IMHO, a fabulous boat that is in serious need of an interior
designer. Your input will affect all future P47s.
I, too, would like to see her develop.

Glenn, Pam, Can you describe your interior design? Any drawings or sketches that we might be able to see? I agree that long term livability is often forgotten or misunderstood....I would love to learn from your experience and see what you've chosen to do with the design and why.....thanks in advance.

mark,
we have attached a drawing of the so-called "great room" which is where we
have really changed our boat from the other P-47's launched or under
construction. please note we have no forward great room pilot house steering
station. we've decided to have all that in the flybridge with some repeaters
below. in addition, our master sleeping quarters have a standard king size
bed rather than the queen. aside from that the only other significant changes
we've made is to extend the cabin top to provide all-weather usage of the
cockpit. our flybridge will also have "all weather" capability. to do this
we needed lots of cooperation from maine cat. its been a pleasure to work
with them.
why no "below" steering station? our rough days and nights at sea are now
behind us due to no schedules and plenty of reserve speed. our cruising
grounds will be the east coast and bahamas the first year with perhaps
cruising in the western caribbean following on its heals. being mainly where
the sun shines we are comfortable with only up-top steering but are planning
to locate a set of throttles in the cockpit for "around the docks" manuvering
when needed.
we had a major complaint with every other production powercat we looked at.
every place you'd plunk yourself down is molded plastic, curved, probably not
where you really want it, and usually uncomfortable. your flesh and bones
have to conform to the molded structures and not the other way around. if
we're going to pay the price of a real nice home why not also have the key
"comforts". when we bought seating for our last home we had a philosophy, "
... any place you sit you should be able to easily fall asleep". we wanted
that same advantage on our next boat.
if you look at our interior plan notice the forward (where the steering
station was) is an ultra-suede settee and a table. the settee, which itself
has a comfortable incline and depth to it, easily converts to a queen bunk
with an inflatable air bed stowed inside. this is all on a raised floor
having lots of storage. midway aft we have cleared out space for two leather
recliners. we are buying these from a brazilian company called "lafer" and
they are incredibly comfortable. beyond them are the "work" areas. we have
eliminated the stand-up power boat style refrigerator and will have more than
10 cu. ft. divided into well insulated fridge and freezer boxes, and note
we're going to cook inside with an induction top. we have the balanced
electrical system to support this and we'll be able to cook faster, greatly
reduce interior moisture, and eliminate propane.
while we haven't included a schematic for the cockpit the concept is to
basically have an open box with a rear seat across a large part of the stern.
this seat will also provide some storage. for cockpit seating we have already
bought 2 "lafuma" zero-gravity recliners and will probably have similar
seating like that stored on the boat. for dining in the cockpit we'll use a
portable, foldable resin table. beautiful, no, but functional, yes. we like
the idea of being flexible and lightweight, all part of a form follows
function philosophy. on a couple's liveaboard cruising boat a good rule to
follow is: 6 for cocktails, 4 for dinner and 2 to spend the night. hope the
kids don't read this!
