The Maine Cat 38 LS-E represents the pinnacle of Dick Vermeulen’s "open bridge deck" philosophy, a design evolution that prioritizes airflow, visibility, and weight reduction over the traditional enclosed saloon. Built in Bremen, Maine, this model is an iterative advancement of the original Maine Cat 38, with "LS" denoting its Long Slim hulls and "E" typically signifying the manufacturer’s push toward integrated electric propulsion systems or enhanced luxury features. Unlike the mass-produced catamarans from European yards, the 38 LS-E is a performance-oriented cruiser that utilizes sophisticated vacuum-bagged, thermoformed Core-Cell construction to achieve a displacement significantly lower than its peers. This weight savings is the foundation of its design, allowing for a slender hull form that slices through chop rather than pounding over it.
