The CYBER CATS come in several sizes and choices of building materials and propulsion methods.

Building materials:

Aluminum plans and cutting files.

Fiberglass plans and mold patterns

Power Cat Version.

Diesel power with Regular shaft drive

Diesel / Electric Hybrid

Sailing version.

Regular Cutter rig

Wind / Sail tower reefable Sail plans.

We  categorize our preferred electric option as Hybrid, and in the electric world, they call it a parallel system - where in an electric motor is fitted between the propeller shaft and a diesel engine.  Either  one (or both) can turn the shaft.  

We feel the benefits are:

1.) Silent operation when desired;  for instance when leaving an anchorage, or a river transit

2.) It uses the diesel's greater power for higher speed as opposed to fitting a large motor and draining batteries VERY quickly.

3.) The electric propulsion motor can serve as a large generator and charge the vessel's batteries.

4.) We have done several studies, and the range of a "all electric" vessel fitted with a generator to charge the propulsion batteries is dependant on the size of the generators' fuel tanks..!   The configuration I am advocating for allows for the diesel fuel to directly power the vessel as opposed to going through a generator to batteries to power the vessel.

5.) Lastly, should the batteries or electrical system fail, the vessel still has a diesel engine to power her to port.
