"What if this were for my family?" It's a serious question asked by every member of the design and engineering team at World Cat and it has an impact on the design of every feature. — Chris Brockway, A World Cat's design is the perfect marriage of form and func- tion. Our boats are meticulously crafted using exacting standards, which are identical, inch by inch, for every boat that comes off the World Cat assembly line. To that end, we design and build every World Cat with four important factors in mind: safety, reliability, fishability and cruisability. Safety and reliability are the two...

WORLD CLASS BENEFITS What’s so great about World Cat’s unique twin hull? the science of smooth > More stability at rest. Catamaran buoyancy is on the outer edges of the boat rather than in the middle, providing superior stability. (Monohulls pivot on the centerline.) Less roll when drifting or trolling. A World Cat's wider footprint negates the effects of rolling seas. World Cat boats are designed to get you to the bite and back without taking a beating. The essence of engineering a World Cat starts with the > Shallow draft for travelling in “skinny” waters. The weight of the boat is...

Consistency is the key to the construction of World Cat's patented hull design, (a) Premium gelcoat is applied to the proper thickness and checked during a three-pass process, which ensures a high-gloss finish that will last for years in the most extreme weather conditions, (b) Once the gelcoat is viscous, a layer of chopped glass roving and resin is uniformly applied to create the "skin coat". The chopped glass, roving and resin are meticulously rolled out to remove all the air, then Iced by the operator to assure proper thickness. Once the skin lhas cured to the proper hardness, the bulk...

The integrity of a World Cat isn't just skin deep. A World Cat's stringer and bulkhead system makes it virtually indestructible. But prior to the stringer and bulkhead assembly, the 100% composite transom is attached to the hull, serving as the anchor for the stringer and bulkhead system. The transom is reinforced with a high performance fiberglass com- posite board ranging from 1 W" to 2" in thickness. It is then covered in two layers of 24-ounce fiberglass to ensure that the transom will be able to withstand the sustained stress of today's high-horsepower engines. Once the transom has...
