1998 World Cat 26.6 SC (266 Sport Cuddy) - Factory Overview
The 1998 World Cat 266 Sport Cuddy (SC) was one of the original three models launched when the World Cat brand debuted in 1998, introducing a new generation of offshore power catamarans focused on ride quality, stability, and fishability.
Designed as a trailerable offshore fishing cat, the 266 SC combines wide beam stability with efficient twin-hull performance, making it ideal for serious anglers and long-range coastal runs.
Hull & Ride
World Cat's patented semi-displacement twin hull design delivers a smoother, more stable ride than traditional monohulls, especially in rough offshore conditions. The twin hulls split wave impact, reducing pounding and fatigue while improving fuel efficiency and control.
Layout & Fishability
- Large, open cockpit designed for offshore fishing
- Transom fish box and rigging station
- Wide foredeck casting platform
- Easy walkaround side decks
- Raw-water washdown and practical fishing layout
The design emphasizes uncluttered deck space and 360° fishability, a major advantage over comparable monohulls.
Cabin (Sport Cuddy)
- Compact cuddy cabin with double berth
- Rod storage
- Marine head
- Functional overnight capability
While not oversized, the cabin provides practical shelter and overnight use without sacrificing deck space.
