The Cape Cod Cat is a 17-foot fiberglass tribute to the traditional workboats that once defined the Atlantic seaboard. Designed as a versatile pocket cruiser, this model is built by the Cape Cod Shipbuilding Co. with an emphasis on the "over-built" philosophy that has sustained the yard for over a century. Unlike modern, lightweight performance boats, the Cape Cod Cat prioritizes stability, a massive cockpit, and the timeless aesthetics of a gaff-rigged sail. Its design features a traditional plumb bow, a sweeping sheer line, and a barn-door rudder, all of which contribute to its reputation as a seaworthy vessel capable of handling the choppy waters of Buzzards Bay and beyond.
