Maricats
are Australian catamarans which were originally designed and built by the
Mariglass company. The most common Maricat the Maricat 4.3 meter is a
banana hulled catamaran.
The
M 5.0 (5m) is a rare form, with only 20-30 ever produced. It has a
long flat hull shape and has centre boards making it look simular to a
Taipan or A Class. There is also a Maricat 4.0 meter which has shorter and
stronger hulls than the 4.3 and these are mainly used as a resort boat.
All three classes of Maricat are built out of fibreglass.
