About the MAINE CAT 22
Folding system brings beam to 8.5'.
Designed by D. Newick/M. Raymond and built by Maine Cat Catamarans (USA) in 1994, the Maine Cat 22 is a compact, lightweight catamaran with a displacement of 1750.0 lb and a beam of 13.0 ft. While the exact hull count is unknown, owner reports highlight its role as a trailerable cruiser, though the fleet shows significant wear patterns typical of its age.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and trailerable weekenders who prioritize shallow draft and easy transport over heavy offshore capability. Its fractional sloop rig and light displacement make it responsive for single-handers or couples seeking a manageable, low-draft vessel for protected waters.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 4.32 and a comfort ratio of 4.08, the Maine Cat 22 is not designed for serious bluewater passage-making but is suitable for coastal cruising and short offshore trips in moderate conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other 1990s trailerable catamarans like the Lagoon 210 or Beneteh First Class 7.5, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and trailerable dimensions. The Maine Cat 22 distinguishes itself with its specific 13.0 ft beam and 2.83 ft max draft, offering a balance of stability and shallow-water access.
