Included here are detailed bid and estimating plans for a half dozen small cruising catboats, from 17' to 22'. They present a practical and functional approach to catboat design. There are both keel and centerboard cats. The keel cats, with no centerboard trunk intruding into the cabin, and even those that do have a centerboard, have plenty of room to work around it in the cabin. All have cabins and cruising accommodations, and have classic, traditional styling. Alternate rigs are also included for some of the designs, plus there are photos of the completed boats. The full plan sets, with some drawings that are not included in the book, are available from the designers for those who would like to build their own catboat. The purchase of those plans also includes ongoing consultation while building and sailing.
