Forging Innovation for Catalyst Chaseboats

C-Tech Ltd has teamed up with Lloyd Stevenson Boatbuilders Ltd to create some seriously impressive instrument masts for the incredible Catalyst Chaseboats. These state of the art chase boats have been commissioned by two Americas Cup teams.

Designed and manufactured by C-Tech Ltd, the instrument masts boast a sleek and low-profile carbon fibre construction. Featuring a unique 121x77mm D-shape tube, these masts have been engineered to provide practicality at speeds of up to 50 knots. Their lightweight yet rigid design ensures stable measurements without compromising performance.

In addition to the innovative mast design, C-Tech Ltd has developed custom mast bases for the Catalyst Chaseboats. These bases enable easy lowering of the masts, ensuring convenient storage. The meticulous clearcoat finish seamlessly matches the chaseboat detailing, resulting in a flawless look.

Lloyd Stevenson Boatbuilders Ltd has constructed the Catalyst Chaseboats as high-performance catamarans, leveraging lightweight composites and drawing inspiration from the successful chase boats developed for Emirates Team New Zealand. With the ability to reach speeds of up to 60 knots while maintaining stability, the Catalyst Chaseboats offer an exceptional experience for both crew and passengers.

The versatility of the Catalyst boats is unparalleled, making them the preferred choice for elite yacht racing teams worldwide. Whether serving as superyacht support tenders or high-speed chase boats, the Catalyst Chaseboats excel. The collaboration between C-Tech Ltd and Lloyd Stevenson Boatbuilders Ltd represents a significant stride in the pursuit of excellence in the marine industry, delivering cutting-edge solutions for competitive yacht racing.
