YES, that is a 34 foot, 6 ton World Cat!
Many people want to know why they should own a World Cat. Is is the smooth ride, the fuel economy, the creative floor plans, or the inherent ruggedness of a stoutly built boat? In many cases, it is the peace of mind of knowing you have the ultimate in rough water capability. Here is a short letter and photo of a 330TE getting vertical at Manasquan Inlet, New Jersey, just at the onset of the Winter season:
*********Letter from Captain Ron************Hi Paul,
Here I am in the World Cat 330TE Tournament Edition. With all the pictures that were being taken that day, I am glad the right person got a good shot. What a rush!!!!! The boat never let me down and was so predictable on every wave. The only time I had a pucker factor was when I went up against a breaking wave that was higher than the boat is long. And it had no back on it. When I fell 25+ feet, it landed soft as a feather and climbed right back up the next one. Don't want to do it again, but I know now that if it happens, I can, and the boat can do it. There was a film crew from one of the TV stations that got some video of that day when I was out there.

Here is another letter Martin Steger received from yet another believer:
Dear Martin,
As I mentioned, I delivered a 270TE from Ft. Lauderdale to Provo, Turks &
Caicos...as usual, we were on a time budget so we left the dock to cross the
stream in 25+ out of the west. Not bad at all until we approached the north
end of Bimini and the seas started to build as we approched the reef. I
went in on the north end because I figured it would be suicide to go in at
Cat Cay. Still, as it started to shallow the seas built to 10+ and I never
even took a drop of spray as we skipped over the reefs at 20 kt......took us
6 days to do the 625 miles...sweet, sweet ride and trip....I have sailed
about 40,000 blue water miles and that trip was one of the best....will be
in touch...thanks
Captain Frank
