The cat’s out of the bag

With Aussie Boat Sales’ recent appointment as the exclusive Victorian and Tasmanian distributor of Glacier Bay Catamarans, local powercat fans can now experience a smooth, agile ride they’ve previously only dreamed about.
The smooth-riding secret, according to Aussie Boat Sales’ (Melbourne) Scott O’Hare, rests in Glacier Bay’s unique, patented design, which features state-of-the-art hull geometry.
“V-bottom boats, and even some other catamarans, plane over the surface of the water – so waves, choppiness or swell often cause a pounding or jarring sensation,” Mr O’Hare said.
“However, Glacier Bay cats have a displacement hull design that allows them to slice through the water, not over it, so they have maximum stability both at full speed and at rest.
“The result is a smooth, speedy and stable ride with superior fuel efficiency, whatever the water conditions.”
Glacier Bay catamarans are constructed with the highest-quality materials and workmanship, featuring solid fibreglass below the water line, heavy-duty hulls and the strength of highest-grade marine woods. The fit and finish remains crisp and professional for years, avoiding the dull, tired look that can eventually affect boats with less rigorous build standards.
Whether for fishing, entertaining or family fun, Glacier Bay catamarans are engineered for maximum performance and handling. With a comprehensive range of models extending from 22 to 34-footers, and a long list of optional features to cater for all requirements, Glacier Bay is the final word in leisure marine power catamarans.
“With its focus on quality and functionality, Glacier Bay Catamarans is a brand that really complements the impressive range of boats we sell through the ever-expanding Aussie Boat Sales network,” Mr O’Hare said.
“Everyone who’s taken a Glacier Bay cat for a test drive has commented on how advanced and responsive it feels compared to a normal cat, and our early sales have been impressive… we’re delighted to have Glacier Bay onboard!”
