This Week: Featured in Passagemaker’s Trawler Talk

“Larry Graf, the founder, designer and lead engineer of Aspen Power Catamarans, talks about Aspen’s proa hull designs and adventure cruising on his own creations from the Arctic to the Sea of Cortez. After establishing Glacier Bay in 1990 and growing it into the world’s largest builder of catamarans, Larry Graf began to tinker with what would become the foundation for his next business venture. Aspen Power Catamarans launched in 2007 with a proa-hull design—two dissimilar sized hulls powered by a single diesel or outboards. The designs reduce drag, save on overall weight and dramatically increases fuel efficiency.”

Your Journey Begins Where Others Stop

C120 Arctic

Modern power catamarans come in many different styles and configurations. The benefits of catamaran designs typically include increased stability, deck space, ride, and cruising efficiency. At Aspen, we refined the concept further by developing a unique PROA cat that maximizes fuel efficiency and range while improving ride and seaworthiness.

Aspen Power Catamarans Hull Design

Patent No. US 8,109,221 B2

Matchless Efficiency and Performance

Aspens offer all the advantages of a catamaran, but in a design that can use a single, efficient diesel inboard or two outboards of different horsepower.

True Innovation in Design

The Aspen hull design offers the stability and space of a catamaran, but tracks straight with a single diesel inboard or two outboards of different horsepower.

A Thirst for Adventure

Because Aspen owners tend to go on long trips exploring remote areas, we have included a double-bottom construction method.

Intelligent Interiors

Thanks to the dual hull design, every Aspen has interior room comparable to that of a monohull that is 25 percent longer, but it’s what we do with that space that sets us apart.

Built with Care

The composites used in the construction of an Aspen power cat are a thoughtful balance of modern high technology, using premium Vinylester and Isophthalic resins, S-glass, Kevlar, and cross-linked PVC cores ranging in thickness from a quarter-inch all the way up to 2 1/2 inches.
