OTHER QUESTIONS
The Coach Cat offers many advantages over the competition, with safety on water being a major highlight. Because the boat has a monohull connected to two catamaran hulls the buoyancy is superior, allowing for a stable platform to preform rescue operations. The Coach Cat also puts out a fraction of the boat wash, meaning rowers can Row in a more suitable environment without negative exterior influences. The Coach Cat also comes with a unique launching and retrieval system with wheels that are apart of the boat, to remove the need for clunky trailers in the clubs.
From the testing we have done in real time rowing situations, the boat used only 7 litres of fuel for an 8 hour day of umpiring at Lake Pupuke. This is due to the Honda 15hp 4 stroke being a leader in its class for both fuel efficency but also known for its reliable and quiet operation.
