“Viewing the natural beauty of Monterey Bay and the Elkhorn Slough should have minimal impact on the wildlife and environment.”
EL CAT DESIGN
Utilizing the ancient design of the canoe stern below the waterline, the builders added modern design additions and materials to create an extremely light, efficient catamaran that can be powered by electric motors. This greatly reduces noise and eliminates emissions.
EL CAT BUILD
Carbon Fiber/ Fiberglass is vacuum infused to make the boat both strong and light. The materials chosen emit relatively zero VOCs. Two 20 Hp Elco motors power the vessel, running off 48 volts carbon foam batteries.
