Not necessarily, Maugan. Remember that Cougar Cat that was recently discussed on this forum that has no relationship or resemblance to the Cougar that was built in the U.S.

Cats are built in other parts of the world that we never hear about.

Even in North America there have been lots of brands of cats that nobody has ever heard about. I have a videotape that I made at least 10 years ago walking through the "graveyard" of abandoned catamarans sitting in the storage yard at the Jericho Sailing Center in Vancouver, British Columbia -- grass growing tall around them. They were basically abandoned and the owners weren't paying their dry-storage rent. So by now probably they have all been hauled away to the dump. Too bad. Some rich person should have put them in a museum to show the history of catamaran design and development. But I'm sure I still have that tape somewhere, I hope.
