Review: H2X 88' M-Cat "Bradley"

Centered at the rear of the oversized salon, the galley is fully utilitarian as well as modern in scope. Set with stainless steel countertops, its Miele microwave oven and steam cookers include a rotisserie and induction range. Two deep freeze lockers are abetted by a cold locker on the after deck, and an ice machine. There is also a cut-out (glassless) window for easy serving; so the chef may join into the yacht’s social life. A separate laundry cove holds a washer-dryer.

Four guest cabins grace the pontoons of this spacious catamaran. Two on each beam. with queen-size berths and ensuite heads/showers. Each has its own closet space and shares stairways which lead up to the main salon.

Guest cabins are outfitted with 15” TV, with satellite reception; DVD, CD FM, MP3 and IPOD connections.
Two optional separate crew cabins are forward in the nacelles.

Guest baths feature compact heads and combination sinks with hand-held showers. Each has a vanity mirror and medicine cabinet as well.

Aft in each sponson is a walk-around space for the massive MAN diesel engines. Each also houses its 20Kva Northern Lights generator. The MCAT 88 is capable of 1,000 mile range @ 10 knots, and speeds up to 20 knots.

On the drawing board is the MCAT 100, EVOE 80 and H2X FUSION. With extraordinary stability and spaciousness, the H2X MCAT is certain to cause a stir in yachting circles with its “Hummer-like” heritage. It will most likely strike a chord also in the hearts of new yacht designers, and yachtsmen who demand adventure and comfort in the next generation of yacht design.
