PDQ Power Catamarans
| A
passion for perfection, a love of the creative process and a
drive to build great boats brought three extraordinary men
together to build the first PDQ Yacht more than 15 years ago.
These three men were Dr. Harvey Griggs, MIT graduate in
structural engineering and the man who commissioned the first
yacht, Allan Slater, chief engineer and steadfast believer in
catamarans, and Simon Slater, Allan's son, creator of the deck
design, and the brawn behind the construction. |
 |
| With
no preconceived notions, no historical baggage and few market
constraints, the first 34-foot fiberglass sailing catamaran
was built in 1987. It was with this same level of engineering,
design and the latest in technology that saw the development
of the MV/34 Passagemaker nearly 10 years later. |
 |
From
start to finish, technology is a driving force behind building
the MV/34. PDQ uses computer-aided design. With these systems,
our designers can quickly, and accurately perform weight
distribution studies using intricate mathematical models that
would otherwise take weeks to complete.
While technology has changed
the nature of design, it doesn't mean that our |
| designers
work in isolation — their best tools are exposure to
builders, suppliers, and of course, our customers. In this way
we know what is needed in terms of esthetics and performance
and together we can work toward the perfect balance between
form and function.
Working with a solidly engineered hull
design, our PDQ teams use traditional boat building techniques
with the latest in high-tech resins, fiberglass and
application methods. PDQ’s commitment to quality is second
to none and is extended to our dedication to customer support
in every step of the way.
The drive for perfection and a mania for
quality combined with innovations in technology continue to
steer the course for PDQ's future. At PDQ, we act
strategically instead of in a reactionary way - forging ahead
to our next development.
