The Marshall Sanderling is the definitive modern fiberglass catboat, a vessel that has remained in continuous production for over six decades since its debut at the 1963 New York Boat Show. Designed by Breck Marshall and based on a 1941 wooden prototype by Pop Arnold, the 18-foot Sanderling was a pioneer in the industry, proving that traditional New England workboat aesthetics could be successfully translated into fiberglass. With over 860 hulls built, it serves as the cornerstone of the Marshall Marine Corporation fleet, which also includes the smaller Sandpiper 15, the larger Marshall 22, and the Sakonnet 23. Its combination of a shallow 19-inch draft (board up), an expansive beam of 8' 6", and a generous gaff-rigged sail plan makes it a versatile platform for gunkholing in thin water or racing in established one-design fleets.
