After years of designing, testing and refining by international top sailors, Performance Catamarans, Inc. introduces the state-of-the-art in catamarans... the Inter 18.

          The Inter 18 sports a vast array of new and unique features which propel it to the forefront of the premier racing class in Europe - the Formula 18 class.

          Featuring a high aspect sailplan with an asymmetrical spinnaker. The daggerboards and rudders are high aspect ratio for blistering upwind performance. The deck layout has been kept clean, straightforward and efficient.

          The uniquely shaped high volume hulls allow the boat to be driven hard in rough conditions.

          Look for new innovative options such as a 2-piece carbon spinnaker pole with E-O snuffer retrieval system, a carbon boom, carbon mast and CHC rudders.

          The Inter 18 has proven itself to be the "hottest" cat in the catamaran racing world and Performance Catamarans has proven itself to be once again-one step ahead.
