The Catalac 9M, often referred to as the Catalac 30, stands as a foundational pillar in the history of production multihulls. Launched in 1970 by Tom Lack Catamarans Ltd. in Christchurch, UK, it represented a radical departure from the plywood "Bobcat" designs that preceded it. Designed by John Winterbotham of MG Duff LTD, the 9M was specifically engineered to utilize the then-advancing technology of fiberglass construction to create a safe, stable, and immensely robust cruising platform. With over 250 units produced during its decade-and-a-half production run, the 9M became the most popular model in the Catalac range, serving as the blueprint for its siblings, including the smaller 8M (27), the stretched 10M (33), and the flagship 12M (41).
