Note the patented "lateral" beam and "adapters" for attaching the catamaran hulls.
Note the patented "lateral" beam and "adapters" for attaching the catamaran hulls.
The patented lateral beam and adapter system provides the most effective and simplest way of attaching a range of different outer hulls.No two catamarans
have the same crossbeam spacing, nor do they have the same crossbeam profile, so adapters are supplied to suit different catamaran huills. Adapters to suit
almost any catamaran hull can be provided. The "articulating lateral beam system" enables the outer hulls to be extended and retracted without fear of
jamming. The front and rear beams can be extended and retracted completely independant of each other without locking up.

The Predator 17 and the Predator 21 use the same "articulating lateral beam" and "adapter" system.
| Predator 21 |
The Predator 21 has been designed to provide as much space as possible in a well proportioned 21 foot trimaran. 6 adults can comfortably
sleep under shelter in the main hull ; sailing speeds of over 15 knots are achievable and motoring at 20 knots is possible. What other similar
sized trimaran offers all this ?
The Predator 21 is a great family or expedition cruiser yet can also be set up as a high performance racer.

Front beamslider pulley mechanism.
Rear beamslider pulley mechanism.
A simple yet extremely effective rope and pulley system is used to extend and retract the outer hulls. One person can extend
or retract the hulls in seconds while sitting in the cockpit. The trampolines remain in place and tighten as the hulls are
extended.

The outer hulls tuck neatly under the wings of the main hull providing a very streamlined and compact unit for towing.
