Alex launched his aeroesque unstayed 45′ cat last week.

For me it really starts about a minute in and in the water closer to 4 minutes. It seems to sit nicely on the water. And notice that there are no straps so he must have used lifting plates. Nice. There will be more soon.
Salty Cat has big aluminum angles bolted to the bulkheads at each corner. Large eye bolts go through the deck and screw into the angles. The cat is lifted from these eyebolts.
It sits nicely on it’s lines. Building a boat like this is an incredible accomplishment. Congratulations to Alex and Hanna.
