“Watts Up Doc” is a unique offering of a Maine Cat 38 LS-E due to its upgraded inboard OceanVolt electric propulsion. The previous owner converted the electric outboard motors mounted under the bridge deck to hull-mounted electric motors.
The Maine Cat 38 was designed as a fast yet comfortable small cruising catamaran “for sailors who love to sail” (designer Dick Vermeulen). The current owners, who are committed to performance, can testify to its ability to sail close to the wind using its daggerboards. It was Sail magazine’s “Best Multi Cruising Boat under 40 feet” in 2017.
The attributes of the Maine Cat 38 are in keeping with the design parameters: lightweight thanks to vinylester resin-infused fiberglass layup over Core-Cell PH core; fast, with narrow hulls below the waterline and low wetted surface; comfortable, with above-waterline flare and reverse sheer of the hulls providing ample space and headroom, and a large, fully enclosed bridgedeck/cockpit with a sheltered forward helm; and easy handling, with superb visibility from the cockpit and primary winches and line handling at the helm and mainsail controls on the transom.
The electric propulsion system works like a hybrid automobile. The feathering props allow regeneration of the batteries while under sail; when battery levels drop below a set point, the diesel generator starts automatically, so there is no “range anxiety” if you are forced to motor for lengthy periods. Under battery power in flat conditions, the boat moves easily at 6 knots.
This boat was lightly used initially in New England and, for the last three years, on the Chesapeake Bay. It is currently on the hard in Deltaville, VA.
