The TomCat 9.7 occupies a unique position in the multihull market, serving as a bridge between the lightweight, performanceoriented "beach cat" lineage and the heavy, condostyle cruisers that dominate modern charter fleets. Designed by Ted Strain and built in Ontario, Canada, this 32foot sailing catamaran was conceived to provide a level of performance and structural integrity often missing in production boats of its size. Its design philosophy centers on a moderate beamtolength ratio and a lowaspectratio profile that prioritizes stability and ease of handling for shorthanded crews. The vessel is constructed using a vacuumbagged, foamcore sandwich method, ensuring the hulls are stiff, lightweight, and inherently buoyant. While the primary production run focused on the standard 9.7 configuration, the builder also introduced the 9.70 and 9.70 S variants, which offered refinements in the cockpit layout and rig tensioning systems to further enhance the vessel’s cruising capabilities.
