Introduced in 1984 by Tom Lack Catamarans of Christchurch, Dorset, the Catalac 10 (marketed in Europe as the 10M and in the Americas as the Catalac 34) was designed by Tom Lack alongside naval architect John Winterbotham. Launched during an era when cruising catamarans were beginning to transition from quirky homebuilt projects to serious production cruisers, the Catalac 10 was engineered with a primary focus on North Sea seaworthiness, family safety, and longterm liveaboard comfort. Unlike modern production multihulls that maximize interior volume for the tropical charter trade with wide beams and light, resininfused laminates, this classic British catamaran was built like a battleship. It prioritized structural redundancy, a low center of gravity, and a highly manageable masthead rig, carving out a reputation as an exceptionally safe passagemaker capable of surviving severe offshore conditions.
