Power cats better than trawler yachts

Hi Paul,

I have been working on a 55' Trawler cat concept with the experience we
found motoring Pacific Harmony from NZ to Florida, some 9000 miles with
the longest stretch being 3000 miles into the trades.
Spent many hours with Trawlercat owners asking their opinions and then
interviewing potential naval architects and customers from the 4 boat
shows we exhibited Pacific Harmony in. We think we have the formula. The
last feedback was with fellow listee Dennis Redeke of Wild Wind and
found we have most everything covered.

We have a Taiwanese builder with factories in China doing 3 demo boats
for us at present, mono's from his current range that we are facelifting
for NZ mono market. He will start the new Powercat next year in a new
factory with Resin Infusion systems. His work so far has been
outstanding. We are building a 58 Pilothouse cruising mono to NZ
commercial charter survey standard and it looks good. Our old website is
www.winteryachts.com. The new company is www.adventurebay.co.nz
The new Powercat website will be www.adventurebaypowercats.com
Not much on the site yet, just a holding page but that will change in
the coming months as the GA's are finalised and 3d renderings finished.

Will keep the list posted.

Regards,

John Winter
