The Sun Cat's heritage is the famous Cape Cod Cat used in the early 1900s in the rough waters of Vineyard and Nantucket Sound. They became known for their stability, amazing speed, and ability to sail into a steep chop. These qualities prompted Compac to put his concept of the Sun Cat on paper and commit it to modern fiberglass construction.
This boat is in good condition and offers a hinged mast for easy raising, a well-protected cockpit, and small cabin below. Her lifting centerboard allows you to take her right up to the beach. And her wide beam provides a stable ride.
