“Chris White’s design is brilliant. Unlike all other catamaran designs I know of, Chris’s Atlantic cats feature a waist-high cockpit forward of the pilot house and right behind the mast that you walk into from the pilot house through a full-size door. Catalyst’s pilot house is the perfect complement to its forward cockpit. Now that I’ve been living in it for a while, I can say it is the best “room” I’ve ever owned, a combination of living room, study, office, observation perch, and (its designed functions) inside steering station and navigation station.” From Sib Reppert aboard the Atlantic 42 “Catalyst” in the South Atlantic, June 2001
