The C.W. Hood Katama 30 was designed primarily for use as a high-performance classic weekender, racing syndicate, or commuter yacht. Because of her superior hull design and her standard bow thruster (which is integrated into the ship`s steering system with the use of a joystick control), the Katama 30 is simple to operate and maneuver. The deck, cockpit, and interior are well thought out with a place for everything onboard. In this design, there is a high priority placed on ergonomic functionality, which consequently gives the owner / operator a predictable, comfortable, and enjoyable boating experience. The Katama 30 combines the best of traditional aesthetics with the finest materials and modern construction techniques available.
