Pedigree Cats, Inc. Catamaran
Let us
custom
build your dream yacht!
O.K. - I am interested in a Catamaran.
What do I do next?
| Step 1 - What type and length do I need?
Common
Questions:
Sail or Power? Visit the Designer's Showcase and look at a few different yacht profiles and floor plans. We can help direct you to boats that will suit your needs based on the answers to the questions listed above, plus we have others not shown. Keep in mind that floor plans and non-structual minor changes can be modified before construction begins to ensure that this is the yacht you have in mind. Ultimately, you will need to determine the approximate length, and select the profile and floor plan for work to begin on your yacht. The examples on our site were done by the designer for someone and what they wanted, but can give you some possibilities for the large area you have to use on these cats. Our stylist can also help put your dreams on paper in a realistic color picture for your home or office.. Dick Newick, multihull designer for fifty years is famous for saying "You can have two of three factors in a multihull - speed, comfort, and economy. You cannot have all three." That is true, but could depend on how fast you expect to go. While true for sailing cats, the new displacement power
cats
are able to do quite well, reaching speeds of 20 knots with very little
hp. Cats must also be balanced and not over loaded, to perform as
the designer has projected. Any Extra weight you expect to carry must
be
disclosed to the designer before adding it to the Cat and before
building begins. This includes things that you expect to add much later. |
| Step 2 - What is included and how much is it
going to cost?
Visit our Amenities and Pricing
page to get a partial list of items included on a Cruise Ready,
Pedigree
Cat. You can sail away knowing you have all the necessary safety gear
and
amenities onboard. Example of where the money goes; 20 % will go to
the construction of the hulls and as much as 40% could go to an
elaborate interior and maybe only 7 % for the engines 6 % in plumbing
and another 5 % in painting, etc.. We have been able to determine an average Pricing
Guideline
for your information. These are an average price for a Pedigree
Cat
power or sail, with all the amenities listed as an ocean ready
yacht.
Of course pricing may change depending on if you want gold plated
faucets or require additional equipment onboard. Also, charter
yachts are generally
less than the price listed, while trimarans generally cost more than
the
price listed. Most clients in the last 10 years, have elected to pay
as we build. We estimate the cost of time and materials,
establish a
spend rate they are comfortable with and spread monthly payments out
over the estimated time to build. |
| Step 3 - Contact Us
There are many more designs available than are shown on
our
site. Most designers have design catalogs and study plans
available
at
very reasonable prices. If you need more help in locating exactly
what
you have in mind, we are able to have it designed. You may also
use
our stylist to lift the sketches off the napkins and bring them to
life. Ready to build ? Hopefully
we have a slot open or coming up shortly. This can be locked in
with as little as 1 % of the estimated cost and the ball will start
rolling. When the start date is reached, then about 9 % more is
paid to cover all the start up materials, plans labor, etc.. It takes
about 12 months to build in the 50' range, 16 months in the 60' range
and 24 months when you push up to the 80' bracket. This again,
will all depend on you and what you want. Plain Charter Cats take about
1/2 the above time to build. For More Information, email us at Info@PedigreeCats.Com Please provide us with as much information as possible so that we can better assist you. |
