Dear Randy & Carol, My name is Clark Boeken, designer and builder of Cruiser Cats' Havana 38 and Tortuga 42 power catamarans based in Cape Town, South Africa - although my residence is in San Antonio, TX. My yachts are beachable with prop protected Malcolm Tennant designs. Most cats with this design can be beached and small skegs can be added to the length of the hulls to help protect the bottom. Now for the bad news - I don't recommend it and on a permanent basis it isn't advisable to beach your boat. On the other hand, if you want to beach it for a day watching the tides you can do so. A lot of damage can be done by leaving your boat beached not to mention warranties by manufacturers, as strainers for air conditioners, motors, etc may be clogged by debris, mud or silt. So my advice is to find a mooring further out to tie to or a slip/berth. Beach your boat when picking up family, friends or supplies, or when on an outing. Goodluck and enjoy your new adventure!
