Powercat Innovation­s

-

There is no doubt: powercats are on a roll. Becoming a mainstay in the power cruising world, these cats are no longer sailing cats sans rigging. They are designed from the pontoons to the mast with all the amenities and performanc­e that serious cruisers demand.

Their role in the charter world is secure forever, with stateroom accommodat­ions that profit from four separate living quarters, immense outdoor space due to wide beams, and communal areas that can rival much larger yachts. Most of these same attributes work for cruisers, too, but we encourage you to shop around and understand what makes the powercat a great option for today’s power cruisers.

Aspen Power Catamarans are a new breed of cat, built with a Patented Power Proa hull that is one of the world’s most efficient hull designs. This super green 40’er has so much less drag that at 17 knots she burns only 11 gph – and there’s three staterooms, 2 heads and a flybridge! At 8 knots, she can run over 1,000 miles on 220 gallons. Ocean sea keeping is smooth, stable and dry. Aspen’s are built w/pride in the Pacific Northwest by a seasoned team of craftsmen, engineers and technician­s. Many have worked with Aspen’s founder, Larry Graf, for 25 years. Larry also founded Glacier Bay Catamarans, having built over 3,000 power catamarans in the last 29 years. Exceptiona­l quality in every component chosen and exacting detail in its installati­on are hallmarks of our company culture. Aspen’s goal for the single level salon / cockpit was wonderful visibility combined with exceptiona­l comfort and convenienc­e. The salon includes an Ultra Leather dinette for 6, a double wide side by side helm station for the owners, a well-equipped 12ft galley, w / Burmese Teak cabinetry throughout. Big is also the first impression here. Not only do you have an Island King berth, you have duel teak hanging lockers, storage at the foot of the bed, under the bed and along the hull side. This master even has molded storage bins under the floor boards.

The time has come to Dream Big! Here is a boat that is specifical­ly designed for your retirement, or even earlier. It’s about as comfortabl­e and spacious as it gets without blowing your retirement funds right out of the water. Two suites with queen size or even larger beds, separate private heads with real showers, even a Roman Shower in the master suite. And it handles so well it can even spin around in its own length. Come see for yourself. It’s the best value on the market today.
