Cat2fold

So far only the 36 ft prototype is available of this brand. Designer Rafael Francke (West Multihulls Inc.) came up with the concept of a catamaran that could be folded on the water and be kept in a standard marina berth with mast up, and be trailered without permit to increase the size of the cruising area.

The result of several years of research is a light, easily steered boat with a biplane rig (or optional single mast rig for racing).

The designer is now looking for investors to allow production of a smaller, 28 ft commercial model, or a buyer for the folding mechanism patent.
