Mission Statement
Pedigree Catamarans will strive to be the best builder of custom power catamarans and sail catamarans, utilizing foam core with modern materials and procedures of composite construction.
Partners
Gary Habersetzer started building multihulls in 1975 in
Washington.
In the late 70's, the first Airex foam core Trimaran in the USA, a
TriStar 42' "Amenity" was built by Gary. The designer, Ed
Horstman was as excited as he was to build a composite Multihull
and ended up writing an instruction manual based on Airex
information in conjunction with ABS standards. At that time,
there was no one in the USA that was building composite Multihulls.
Before Gary finished "Amenity", designers and others were asking
if he would build another composite Multihull. Gary decided to continue building
custom, one-offs and would only build from proven Multihull
designers that would work with clients to give them exactly what
they wanted, inside and out. He has never built the same
yacht twice and the clients actually get to design what their
dream will look like. They work with the designer to ensure
structural requirements as well as weight and balance are as
structurally necessary.
He and his wife Kelly, and their felines, relocated to
Raymond Washington in the early 1990's.
Pedigree Catamarans still uses Airex today and for now 39 years of
building custom composite Multihulls in the USA. We still
use only proven materials, mostly made in the USA and that are
ABYC, USCG, and EC standards compliant with accepted methods of
construction.
Pedigree Catamarans, Inc. or Pedigree Cats, offer more than 30 different catamaran models ranging from 52' to 150' and we offer top designers for our customers to work with in designing their ultimate catamaran. We also have concept artists to work with you directly to create exactly what you have in mind, inside and out.
Materials
The catamaran hulls are constructed using Airex foam core, E-glass, Kevlar, carbon fiber,
and vinylester or epoxy resins as the designer specifies. Generally the foam used above the waterline is a PVC cross linked foam. The custom exterior is Imron® polyurethane and other top 2 stage coatings from Dupont and PPG.
