ABC offer craft at nearly any stage of completion from hull only right up to full fit out. We are not constrained by moulds, this means that the client can have a much greater input on how the finished boat should look and the layout required. Also each subsequent boat can easily be updated so every purchaser may have the most up to date looking craft and incorporate the most innovative ideas on their boat. 

The catfish catamaran design affords excellent volume in its hulls alleviating the need of fittings such as bulbous bows and the like. Our hull shape is easily driven and this combined with the low weight and immense strength of aluminium allows the craft to achieve greater speeds with lesser horsepower, thus giving savings in both fuel usage and initial costs of power units. The design has proven to be an acomplished sea boat with no slamming in heavy seas, little or no roll at anchor in short seas, thus affording a great deal of comfort to skippers, crew and clients alike.
