The Catamaran Company Announces New Office in Pacific Northwest

SEATTLE, Washington, January 2, 2014 — The Catamaran Company, the worldwide leader in all aspects of the catamaran market, has expanded their reach to the Pacific Northwest.

With offices in Fort Lauderdale, Annapolis, St. Augustine, the Florida Keys, Tortola and the United Kingdom, expansion to the up and coming catamaran market on the west coast of the United States was the next logical step. Catamaran pluses such as sailing performance, more efficient use of space, living space above deck, shallower draft, easier docking and increased manoeuvrability are all reasons that catamarans are gaining in popularity in cruising grounds previously dominated by monohulls.

"I have been impressed with the organization that The Catamaran Company and President Hugh Murray have created over the years. I am especially pleased to serve as their Northwest representative," says Rod Gibbons, founder of 2Hulls and author of "The Cruising Catamaran Advantage." Rod's extensive background in the catamaran industry makes this new location at Shilshole Bay Marina 7001 Seaview NW in Seattle the best way to make an immediate impact on the increasing interest in multihulls on the west coast.

Under Rod's guidance, The Catamaran Company will be represented this year in the Seattle Boat Show, Indoors + Afloat from January 24 through February 2. The show will highlight the company's own 2014 Gemini Legacy 35, with her narrow beam and low profile, as the cruising catamaran through the Puget Sound and the Northwest's unique maritime geography.
