As Catalac owners, we all benefit from shared advice and information. 

Old Tom Lack Brokerage sheets

Data :

Outboard prop tests   Prop drag under sail  Marine Plywood   9.9 hp outboard fuel consumption 

Owner's Modifications:

Window replacement  Chart Table and Autohelm   Fridge Conversion  Outboard Steering

Outboards:

  • Meander's dual outboards (with centre spare!)
Stern view of Me-And -Er showing her twin 6hp Outboards (and a spare in the “old central” location)
view from above - starboard Engine
View in stern locker showing prop when engine is tilted for sailing and steering linkage.
Outboard down, showing shape of hole in hull
Shows OB in raised position..
More clearly when up
I believe this shows the OB DOWN, but with the “fairing” (held up by string) in place in the hole.

 

Very Modified “fast” Catalac.

I believe she can plane….. Seen planing in the Solent on a facebook video
NOTE the change to hull profile at the stern!

?? Weight on bow to keep it down ? or fuel tanks?? ;-) 

Other Unusual Additions:

Front rudders, bow bulbs, sugar scoops.
