Isotope
and Cheshire Catamarans
Rigged, sailed, righted by
one person.
|
The
Isotope and Cheshire are performance catamarans. The balanced
design makes it possible to fine tune for maximum performance
- all of the equipment is there as the sailor's skill level
grows. Many safety concerns are addressed with hull flotation
[ ],
foam inside the top of the sealed mast, and a righting bar.
Also available is a removable pocket on the top panel of the
mainsail in which a piece of foam flotation can be inserted.

 Quality.
Our two sailing cats, the Isotope
and the Cheshire, are built per
order so that each boat is what the owner wishes within class specifications.
Our crafts are manufactured with reinforced molded fiberglass hulls
and equipped with the best marine hardware. The thoughtful
design and workmanship assures the owner's satisfaction and earns
the boats the reputation of being the "Smart Cats."
