The new Sea Speed designed "Quad Cat" was launched late Janurary 2012. Built by The Australian Thai Team in Thailand the new high speed aluminium catamaran has shown excellent results at sea trails in the Gulf of Thailand. Named Blu Anda 122 is the first vessel built by the builder and if the results are any indication they will build many more in the future.

The 12.3 Metre Power Cat is powered by four (4) Suzuki 250 H.P. four stroke Outboard Engines giving a top speed of over 37 knots and a  fully loaded speed of 35 knots with 30 passengers. By all reports this is the first time the quad' outboard application has been sucessfully completed with high speed catamarans of around this size with Suzuki outboards.  Fuel consumption is suprisingly good with a total of 80 ltrs/Hr at 22 knots and 130 ltrs/hr at 28 knots.

The platform is attached to a fixed platform which extends out past the outboards. This is complemented by three fresh water shower units, one overhead plus one resessed units each side. Beside the platform is an aft' toilet compartment which is full size which is a nice change from the crampt set ups of similar vessels of this size.
