    A New A Class Catboat

    The workshop has built three A Cats so far and is now working on a fourth. This boat will be very similar to Spy and Torch launched in 2001 and 2002. The A Cats are not a strict one design class so there are differences between the boats as this very traditional class continues to evolve. For 84 years, this class has brought the excitement and beauty of wooden boat racing to the Barnegat Bay.

    To see how construction is going this very minute, visit our Boatshop Webcams »
