Reply to: A-cat question for Mattson or others

Message body

[quote=CatFan57]I’m impressed by the way the A-cat shown in this nice video posted on youtube by Mattson sails:

I’m wondering if Mattson (or anyone else) knows what kind it is, and the length.

The water appears to be pretty moderate in the video.  However, Mattson has another video or two that I think show the same boat out in some larger swells and chop in the open ocean.  From what I can tell, it seems to be handling it pretty well, hanging right with the P19s (or better?).  Better than I would’ve expected for a boat with such low-profile hulls.

I don’t know much about A-cats, but I had the idea boats with these lower profile hulls might be better for less rough waters – but what do I know?  I’m wondering if Mattson or anybody else has any comment about how boats like this do in the bigger conditions, compared for example to something like a P-19.
