Brady originally designed sailing cats, motorsailers and power cats, but for the last 20 years the firm (now called Pathfinder Powercats)[1] has specialised in powered catamarans exclusively.

Brady catamarans tend to be built in small numbers or even as one-offs, so the firm has adopted "strip-plank" as the optimum construction method.

The completed wooden monococque is then covered with fiberglass matting and epoxy resin.

This method is very suitable for low-volume construction, avoiding the need to build a female mould; it is simpler and cheaper to manufacture a plywood jig that may be discarded afterwards.
