Additional Boat Details
Interior layout
Our catamaran, Gato, offers a roomy and a natural light filled interior. Spread out and relax.
She sleeps eight in three staterooms and a convertible dinette. Matched double berth staterooms in aft of each hull. Main Salon in center of boat with chart area and storage to port, U-shaped dinette with seating for six to eight in center on bridge deck and galley to starboard. Forward on port is the head/shower area with a folding Plexiglas door separating the shower area from the head.
Galley
To Starboard is a large galley with opposing work surfaces, double sink, refrigerator and two burner stove with oven and broiler. Rather than Galley up or Galley down we describe the layout as Galley Open, as it is open to the entire Salon and you stand at eye level with the windows.

Remarks
The smell of the sea. The stability of a catamaran. The full cabin light below. Sit at the dinette and see the world outside. Large cockpit. Have a party on the large solid fore deck or just sit in solitude and watch the world go by. With Gato there are many nice options.
Gato the perfect sailboat for Northwest cursing in all weather conditions. There is protection from the sun and rain in the amble cockpit under the hard bimini top. Cold? Set the autopilot and then step inside the cabin, take the captains’ chair with a 360 degree view. Rotate the Raymarine color display for viewing all the navigational data.
