The Cunning Cat Catamaran
1. Are there any unique aspects of this catamaran from other cats of this size?

The Cunning Cat is Specifically designed for entertaining and enjoying the water. The entire back 'verandah' of the Cat can open out so people enjoying the couch style furniture inside and can still enjoy the waterways outside. Access to the water is extremely easy via two steps out of the rear of the hulls to the waterline. The Trampoline is also very inviting to lazing about. the sails offer shade from the sun and the silent transportation of your craft.

The Cat is also designed for easy sailing for only a few people to operate. This means you can be entertaining and not making your guests pull the mainsail up or winch in the anchor. Just sit back and relax with a cool drink.
