Building instructions for the Powercat model boat, Order No.: 2125
The full-size vessel
Class 1 off-shore catamarans are racing boats with a hull length of 12 to 14 m, and are capable of top
speeds around 250 km / hr or more. The maximum permissible engine capacity is 8.2 litres, and the power
plants are rated at around 750 to 950 BHP. Since the start of the 2003 season all the boats have been
powered by Lamborghini V12 petrol engines.
The crew of a Class 1 boat consists of the driver and the 'throttleman'.
The design of our model is based on these famous Class 1 power boats.
Every year these vessels take part in a series of races held all round the globe, in a similar style to the
Formula 1 car-racing scene.
The model
This boat is suitable for beginner and advanced modeller alike. At the design stage we paid particular
attention to simple construction and good structural strength.
Building the model calls for little in the way of modelling knowledge. All the components are accurately laser-
cut, and the vacuum-moulded parts are machine-trimmed, with the result that hardly any trimming or
adjustment is required.
The boat is designed for a standard power system consisting of a single central electric motor; at the
builder's discretion two motors can be installed in the sponsons.
The model can be fitted with brushed or brushless motors.
