She's the widest boat I've ever done, proportionally speaking, but lots of boat have been built to these proportions and my my Piccup Pram, which is almost similarly wide, certainly has no difficulties in rough going. It's been repaired but the boat is near Green Bay and it will be next summer before any testing can be done.įatcat2 is a cuddy cabin sailer patterned somewhat after a traditional catboat.
What happened is that the builder, who is in his mid 80's, was taking the prototype to the lake to test when it was damaged in a road accident. Fatcat2 is still really a prototype boat even though I can show photos of a completed boat.
