MTG now has a new website at www.mtgroup.com.au

These MTG-Series project-built cats are in response to strong demand for "individual yet economical" high-performance fast cruising catamarans in the widest range of cruising sizes from 30' to 65'. Owners demanding the latest in design and technological advances rely on us for custom solutions - modern, stylish, light-weight multihulls that go and that are quick to build.

The MTG program is based on successful designs by Tony Grainger. All share a distinctive profile and similar features, such as wide side decks and a single-step cabin, opening windows behind the mast for ventilation, and excellent vision form the helm.

Across the size-range, the designs deliver the exhilarating sailing performance that only custom-built boats can deliver, but they are also designed to deliver big on value. The surfaces are ideally developed for our building techniques resulting in quick build-times. These advances enable us to engage owners who are considering production boats or kit boats, many of which are too heavily built and of too jaded a design to go well.

The philosophy behind the designs is to keep things fresh and simple and by doing so, to extract the maximum in performance, comfort and looks for the amount of time and money invested in the construction of the boats. These boats are fast and simple to build and don't cost the earth. The wide range of sizes is aimed at satisfying most needs and meeting most budgets.

By offering a wide spread of boat sizes we are able to match the right boat to most clients' needs without over-fitting or overloading. Each design in the series has a target weight and a sharp focus on lively sailing performance. If carrying cruising stores are what's required the client can move up a size.

This doesn't mean there are no options. Quite the contrary - above all we build custom boats. Besides the usual options such as choices between daggerboards or fixed keels, and rotating or fixed rigs, someone who is exceptionally tall could order a boat with headroom to suit; the number of berths and heads and other general arrangements such as whether the galley is up or down are also open as options. But it does mean that we can avoid taking a given design to extremes.

Bob Peel and Tony Grainger have collaborated since 1993. These boats bear this experience with unique elements that have drawn praise from new owners and generate a great deal of interest amongst prospective owners alike.

Grainger Designs are renowned internationally for their track record trough innovation. This approach complements our choice to run Multi Hull Technologies Group as a custom-boat building business with the very latest project-boatbuilding equipment but without female moulds. The result is the freedom to test and improve the designs over time and to adopt new technologies as soon as they become available thus keeping the series alive with every latest advancement. This commitment to maintaining a truly `dynamically evolving series' is for sailors who are serious about their sailing and who deserve the latest and the best.

The existing designs range from 30' 2" (9.2 metres ) to 65', (20.0 metres) LOA. Larger boats of similar concept and design up to about 70 feet LOA and boats in between sizes, can be built  in our modern boatworks.
