CATS of Waterworld...... The Movie

[Wellydeckhand]

Hello ladies and gems..........pardon my french....
I was wondering with all the brilliant N.A. and designer, shipbuilder or old shipwright might have the heart to tell me who design and made the cats for the movie WATERWORLD........... ?

Is it a movie trick version or the geniune item does exist....?

Many Thanks and Thousand apalogies for starting a thread that is boring...

CHEER

That is one strange looking cat!

I was refering to the vessel that he drove like an agile monkey..........

Is that very vessel had a website or anybody know the theory of sail interchangable to unidirectional metal frame drive?

I thought the little girl had a kitty or something.

Found this:

Picture of the boat (Catamaran) that was featured in the bomb movie "Waterworld"

http://www.sdboats.com/waterwld.htm
This boat actually was one of the original catamarans used by Dennis Conner when he defended the America's cup, when New Zealand tried to challenge the rules and have the cup race sooner than it was supposed to.

I'm sure there is more:
