The fiberglass hull lay-up is comprised of 22-layers of hand-laid fiberglass using advanced composite engineering by High Modulus. High Modulus is internationally renowned for their leading edge technology and winning World Cup sailing structural designs. The composite structure of the boat has been engineered by the internationally renowned company High Modulus. High Modulus is headquartered in New Zealand, but has additional offices in Europe, Australia and Asia . Their thirty years experience working with composite materials and engineering optimised marine structures, including winning America's Cup yachts and luxury mega motor yachts, makes them a leader in the industry. They are therefore a key technical partner in the development of the Arrowcat, for which performance, quality and durability are critical.

Performance

This unique hull design offers the best of both displacement and planing hull technologies- stability and exceptional seaworthiness are melded with speed and best-in-class fuel efficiency. Combining a wide stance and sharp bow entry with ample tunnel height, the ArrowCat 30 delivers unparallel performance and efficiency from trolling to top speeds.

The ArrowCat 30 is powered by twin engines, with applications ranging from twin 150's hp to twin 250's, depending on desired performance and fuel economy.

Durability

Each ArrowCat is built using over a thousand labor hours. The meticulous hand-built foam-core composite construction can never rot and provides owners with the strongest, most durable technology money can buy. Each bulkhead and internal structure is hand fiberglassed to both the hull and deck and each join is made with the utmost attention to detail for strength. The boat will remain stiff and quiet because it is all bonded into one unit. Hull bottoms are constructed with 22 layers of solid fiberglass for strength and durability.
