posted 06-25-2015 07:37 PM ET (US) We owned one for about eight years. It could hit over 30-nautical-miles-per-hour if the conditions were perfect. The underside of the trampoline had a fabric ladder sown into it, allowing crew to climb up to the upper hull, reach through a section of tramp and release a 18-inch side stay extender. This allowed the upper hull additional moment when righting. Then it was a trick just to haul yourself back on top of the rig.Again, when conditions permitted, having the hull pop out of the water, while on the wire was a true experience. Instead of a couple of feet off the water on a 16-foot or 18-foot Hobie (my wife and I owned and did some racing with an 18), you looked down and realized you were a BUNCH of feet off the water.
Background behind the hull design of Roberts and Edmunds was that they were pretty forward thinking Pratt and Whitney engineers, who were both competitive in the SE Hobie circuit. They knew of the design problems with the 16-foot (low hull volume, flex points at the hull posts and frame castings, tendency to pitchpole, etc.) And had access to either mainframe or mini computer idle time. And began feeding computational models of the best hull design, sail design and hull size into a great numbers cruncher. Out popped a design. Then they decided to build one, and campaigned it. Then decided to go into manufacturing.
About the time they realized they were engineers and not salesman, Whaler was looking to capture some of the sales they saw Hobie achieving, with their 14, 16 and 18's. Whaler and Supercat got together and for a while, were selling the 20' 19' and 17'. Then Super Cat brand got tossed to Erickson sailboats. That division knew nothing about selling a multihull. And the cats languished until Aquarius picked up the rights.
In my opinion, the 17' Supercat was the best of all worlds, for a easy to run beach cat. No daggers, no boom (block attached to a traveller), roller furling jib, mesh tramp. Hull design minimized pitchpoling.
We had fun with her for about four years. Then found that trying to field a crew of at least one other person or two novices was beginning to become hard. Other hobbies and sports. Plus, lower Lake Huron was not real conducive to beach cat sailing. Our heavy winds also produce significant wave action. Would be a perfect speedster for a large inland lake.
