Commercial operators like fisherman, divers, port operators, ferries, where safety and comfort is paramount are increasingly moving towards twin hulled vessels. The design is inherently safe and historically proven going back to the Polynesians. Practical Boatowner undertook a test report in heavy seas and said “Across and down the waves, I occasionally had the opportunity to open the throttles all the way to 5300 rpm and watch the GPS climb to 22 knots. Not once did the boat give cause for concern – even on the way back into harbour, when the tide was sluicing out and the horizon was occasionally hidden by breaking waves”

The lightweight composite structure provides very significant additional stiffness.The narrow hulls have rigid curves and small panel sizes and therefore enormously enhance the structural integrity of the boat. The hull is finished in isothalic resin (anti-osmosis type system adding to the hulls longevity). The design also features the safeguard of being unsinkable. If completely flooded, loaded with people and gear it still will not fully submerge.

In addition there are port and starboard sealed collision bulkheads. "The MotorCat can be seen on www.motorcat.com undergoing buoyancy trials and has a CE"B" marking category."
