It’s not every day we get to throttle up into the red (redlining) with imagination, creativity, and problem solving skills going into a single project. The past year we’ve been designing and engineering the Resto-Mod of a 25M Powercat, designed in the late 1990’s, and has required all our RPM to fuel the ride. For our clients this yacht captures a fresh balance of style, safety, and performance.

Background:
The Catamaran was designed by Derek Kelsall, of Kelsall Catamarans, a UK company founded in Cornwall, 1965. The firm moved to New Zealand, during the late 1990’s, around the time Bonefish was originally designed and the project soon began a slow pace of construction at a New Zealand builder, where the boat was eventually launched in mid-2000’s.
