The Chaser Cat represents a distinct departure from the heavy, IORinfluenced monohulls that defined Chaser Yachts’ reputation in the 1970s. While the Erin, Ontario, builder was primarily celebrated for the Doug Petersondesigned Chaser 29, the Chaser Cat was developed to capture the burgeoning recreational multihull market of the midtolate 1970s. This small, fiberglass catamaran was designed as an accessible, highenergy daysailer, aimed at the "cottage" market and beachlaunching enthusiasts who prioritized speed and simplicity over the complex rating rules of offshore racing.
