Catamaran Question

[Tim leyde]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a cat considered a hydro?

 

[57fairlane500]

Everything is a hydro except monos.

Atleast in NAMBA.

 

[Tim leyde]

After finding this I guess they can.

 

[57fairlane500]

In a hydro class, absolutly.

 

[Tim leyde]

That was my thoughts also thanks. Just wondering what others were thinking.

 

[Ron Olson]

The rulebooks say that any boat with more than one wetted suface is considered a hydroplane

 

[Grimracer]

so is a tunnel!

Another example of "you gotta first finish to finish First", if I remember a Cat won a hydro class years ago at the Indy Masters as well as Sport Hydros for the same reason.

OK, to clarify. You can run a cat in a sport hydro class.

 

[57fairlane500]

Sport hydro classes are specialty classes so unfortunatly, no.

Was that Madam X Cat in that picture?

 

[57fairlane500]

Yes Sean, it is. A very old one at that. Frank has been racing that boat and motor (gold head CMB 90) for 20-ish years.

like everyone has say a cat is a type of hydro. they are usually separated though because there are so many catamarans and there are other types of hydros that are more diverse
