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.

Performance

• Typical power: Twin outboards (commonly Yamaha)
• Cruise: ~30 knots
• Top speed: 40+ knots (depending on power)
