A Fast Cat for Islesboro: An economical Maine island commuter

摘要

Last summer, moored among the center-console runabouts, working lobsterboats, and summer daysailers of Islesboro, Maine, was a subtle, futuristic cool-gray 32' power catamaran. It looked like a water strider at rest, with a passenger pod perched calmly above the water's surface and supported by two lean molded-plywood hulls. The boat's appearance hinted at the capacity for easy speed. This lightweight custom-built, wood-composite craft is the product of Earl and Bonnie MacKenzie, longtime island residents and professional mariners.
