Cat Tales has a three cabin layout with two equal cabins (queen size berths with premium mattresses and special insulation package) forward of the salon and one in the port stern. There is exceptional headroom because of the sloped decks. She is very well equipped for cruising with excellent electronics & air conditioning and has been kept in immaculate condition. The PDQ is soundly constructed with a good layout and has an above average windward ability for a cruising catamaran without centerboards or daggerboards. The boat has earned a considerable reputation as a comfortable, reliable, bluewater or coastal cruiser.


Accommodations:
The beautiful light cherry wood interior of the 36 PDQ is both spacious and functional. From the cockpit you enter the saloon area where there is a large folding dining table which can comfortably seat 6 people. The dining table can also convert to a king size bed for extra guests. There are two staterooms with queen size berths, both with premium mattresses and special insulation packages located in the forward section of each hull, both with ample clothes hanging lockers and full width footlockers for folded clothes or duffel bags. On the starboard side just aft of the cabing is the nav station with a large AC/DC electrical panel, radios, chart table, and storage. Aft of the nav station is the head compartment. This head compartment is complete with marine toilet, sink with two large vanity cabinets and separate full standup shower. On the port side is the fully equipped galley. Aft of the galley is the third cabin which has been designed with a removeable double bunk, a work bench, storage for tools, equipment & supplies.
