The Classic Cat is a fiberglass14 foot gaff rigged catboat whose lineage can be traced back to any number of small catboats that sailed the waters of New England in the last century. Over the years, we have made some concessions to modern boat building materials that have added to the value and attractiveness of the boat while making seasonal maintenance more manageable for the owner. The overall appearance is traditional but efficient. The wooden spars round out a beautiful, functional package that is a joy to sail either single handed or in pleasant company. The hollow rig is very light and the 35-40lb mast is easily stepped by the owner.

The Classic Cat is also available as a cold molded composite boat, built to the same high standards as our Baybird Sloop. The hull is built to a slightly lighter displacement, producing an unbeatably fast boat that has all the attributes of a stunning wooden boat, but with the lower maintenance advantages of the composite construction.

The Classic Cat's large open cockpit with its comfortable bench seats can accommodate four or more adults. The beam (half the overall length) and the single gaff rigged sail ensure a stable ride that is both forgiving and challenging according to the skipper's ability or enthusiasm of the moment. The Classic Cat is ever-changing from kid-friendly to race-ready; from laid back picnic transportation to a reef down in a stiff wind. The Classic Cat is an outstanding performer, fun to sail with a crowd or single handed. It is an affordable investment in small boat ownership that holds its value and provides years of enjoyment without a huge maintenance committment.
