Press release from PDQ Yachts: PDQ YACHTS CELEBRATES LAUNCH OF 100TH PDQ34 POWER CATAMARAN In the spring of 2001, PDQ launched its first power catamaran. Five years later and we're celebrating the launch of PDQ 34 hull #100. Steve and Hedy Fagan, owners of PDQ 34-100 Volare, left Whitby early last week for Block Island, RI via the St. Lawrence Seaway and Lake Champlain. The launch of hull 100 coincides with the construction of the first PDQ 41 Power Catamaran slated to be launched this fall. Once the major mechanical systems are in place, the deck will be fitted onto the hull later this month. The PDQ 34 has become the most successful product in PDQ's history, establishing itself as the best selling cruising power catamaran in North America. This success is largely attributed to well-engineered and quality construction of the boats, as well as greater attention to market requirements. PDQ's customer relations campaign that includes programs such as PDQ U and an annual Flotilla program has also established PDQ as a leader in the growing cruising power catamaran market.

Earlier post: http://lists.samurai.com/pipermail/power-catamaran/2006-May/001188.html -- When I pass along press releases that I cross my desk, I post them for what they are, publicity releases from power catamaran builders, designers, dealers and others which represent the viewpoint of those same builders, designers, dealers and others. The discerning reader may need to apply a grain of salt. I post the releases for general information purposes, without any verification or endorsement. --Georgs Georgs Kolesnikovs Power Catamaran World http://www.powercatamaranworld.com PS Members of the trade are encouraged to ensure I'm on their media contact lists.
