The Brazilian shipyard Brasil Cat has just put one more catamaran Cat 190 in the water. The 63 feet watercraft presents some news related to the boat that inaugurated company in Brazilian market in 2006. For example, the best performance warranted by the combination of reprojected hull and two Cartepillar engines, which delivers 715 HP and 27 knots maximum speed. “We also enlarged by 5 m² the flybridge, totaling 34 m², and the number of suites. The new boat has five, against three in the first boat, and two more suites for sailors", specifies Amilton Gutierrez, Cat 190’s creator.

Brasil Cat is one rare example of Brazilian shipyards that adopt only DERAKANE® vinyl ester resin, provided by Ara Ashland, in hull construction. It is a much more resistant polymer than conventional polyester resins – usually used in applications submitted to constant chemical aggression, such as off shore pipes and tanks. “Why not provide a better quality product, more secure and durable, with almost imperceptible changes to the final price?”, he says. Resins are reinforced in certain areas of the boat with aramid tissues, the same product used in bulletproof vests and Formula 1 helmets.

Manufactured through infusion process, which makes watercrafts lighter, Cat 190 has 1.700 miles autonomy. “The average fuel consumption is 130 l/h, against 400 l/h of motorboats of same size”, calculates Gutierrez, who currently works in Brasil Cat’s third boat conclusion. “It will be delivered in the next 90 days".
