C-Cat 40 Power Fish

A taller flybridge for a better view over the water

This model has been directly derived from the C-Cat 38 Powercat, which itself came from the C-Cat 37 sail. This new powercat tries to validate the bet (lost at the time) that the Lagoon 40 MY had made with a wise economic drivetrain.

Here, the twin 75 HP motors and the 13-ton lightship weight of the Lagoon have been replaced by slightly “livelier” values, i.e. a 2 x 100 HP engine and a displacement of 10.25 tons laden. The C-Cat 40 Power Fish is capable of reaching 15 knots, compared to 11 for the 40 MY. At cruising speed, consumption can be kept to less than one liter (just over a quart) per mile. The interior is complete even though the nacelle is somewhat cramped - the cockpit can be added to the space, however, since it can be completely closed in. The flybridge is raised up on an aluminum structure so that deep-sea fishing enthusiasts can scan the water in with the best conditions. And at the back of the cockpit, there are rod holders of course!
