Designed by the collaboration of Steve Edmunds and Bill Roberts, this compact catamaran represents an interesting entry into the small multihull market from the mid-1980s. Built by Boston Whaler and Aquarius Sail Inc., the Supercat 19 combines the stability advantages of twin hulls with a manageable size for trailering and single-handed sailing. The fractional sloop rig with rotating spar delivers impressive sail-carrying ability, as evidenced by the substantial sail-to-displacement ratio of 80.09. This configuration suggests the boat was designed with performance in mind, offering exciting sailing in moderate conditions while maintaining the inherent stability that catamarans provide. The twin daggerboard setup allows for excellent upwind performance and shallow-water versatility. At just 375 pounds displacement, this lightweight catamaran can plane easily in fresh breezes, making it ideal for day sailing, sailing instruction, or small boat racing. The fiberglass construction ensures durability while keeping maintenance requirements reasonable. The boat's compact 19-foot length makes it perfect for coastal waters, protected bays, and lakes where its shallow three-foot draft opens up anchorages unavailable to deeper-draft monohulls. This design appeals to sailors seeking catamaran performance without the complexity of larger multihulls.
