From the same hull moulds as the TC 8.5 Racing Cat it is possible to build a more cruising oriented boat, by eliminating the cockpits to create more room inside. By adding a hard deck the space between the hulls becomes the cockpit. Further modification could include flaring the inboard side to allow a double bunk aft. The effect is similar to a smaller version of the TC 10 "Pulse", at a fraction of the cost. Contact the designer tcdesign@xtra.co.nz if you would like more info about this option.
