The rig was custom made in the US and is 4' taller than the factory version. The boom and the mainsail are much larger and the jib much smaller. This make the boat significantly faster and easier to sail. The rig is totally oversized and "Harkenized" with the exception of 3 Spinloc clutches.

COMMENTS
Original owner - never chartered. The tall, oversize rig ensures swift, yet safe, sailing. The large main, small jib and oversized running gear make sail handling very easy. The vessel has been maintained in excellent condition by an "obsessive, compulsive, neurotic owner". MAD HATTER II is truly for one who wants a fully-rigged and equipped faster catamaran that still maintains lot's of owner comfort.
