Buck


Buck is based on the Cape Cod Catboat.

Narrower and rigged either as a Cat Yawl or as a Gaff Sloop.

A Winter Rig was common for working boats. Not only is winter stormy, cold air is denser than warm, summer air. A snug rig gives plenty of power.

There’s also a little wheelhouse that fits over the companionway and bridge deck. From there we can steer under cover. Either under sail or power.
