Abstract

"Focus: Midcoast Region" piece on Bremen-based Maine Cat, which manufactures catamaran sailboats and recently introduced its first power catamaran. Dick Vermeulen, owner of Maine Cat, hopes the development of the power catamaran will fuel the company's growth. The company is experimenting with a diesel-electric engine, though Vermeulen is now skeptical as to whether that engine will be worth the cost to consumers. Vermeulen cites the company's Maine identity, quality craftsmanship, and personal customer service as keys to Maine Cat's current success. With a related article detailing the technological innovations that have marked four centuries of Maine shipbuilding.
