Power catamarans have twin engines. That makes them much safer than a conventional single engined powerboat. It also makes them very manouverable. Here I am turning our Skoota 28 in circles without using the steering wheel. You can see the engines are in line, turning is achieved by putting one engine in reverse, the other in forward gear I'm not very good at it yet! In part because the engine thrust in forward is much greater than in reverse, (because the exhaust goes through the propeller), so the throttle in forward needs a delicate touch You can build your own Skoota 28 in plywood from plans by Woods Designs, see more at www.sailingcatamarans.com
Reviewer Jeanne Craig gave you the scoop on the Carver C40 in her review, Carver C40: A New Cruiser is Coming to Town, and at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, she caught this boat on film as well. Here's your first look, in our First Look video. As Jeanne points out, this is an ideal motor yacht for the family cruiser, and Carver even keeps it affordable when compared to the competition. For more information read Carver C40: A New Cruiser is Coming to Town, or visit Carver Yachts. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2013/11/carver-c40-first-look-video/ For more boat videos, visit www.boats.com.
