This entitles them to attach a CPC plate to each qualifying boat.

Their small family owned business was established 14 years ago in September 1992. They have been busy building the bladerunner catamaran boat design since then. The design has developed over the years to the sleeker, glossier looking lines she shows today. Without compromising the ride or the safety we have produced a stylish cat with class.

Each individual boat is designed and built with the owners unique requirements taken into consideration this gives you a boat suited to what you need.
