About the My Cat

Compact, nimble, and approachable, the My Cat is a catboat-style sailboat designed with simplicity and ease of handling at its core. Catboats are defined by their distinctive single-mast, single-sail configuration positioned well forward in the bow, paired with a wide, shallow hull that maximizes cockpit space and stability. This layout makes the My Cat an appealing choice for beginner sailors, families, and those looking for relaxed daysailing on protected waters such as bays, lakes, and coastal inlets. The catboat's traditional design heritage lends the My Cat a certain classic charm, and its straightforward rig means there is relatively little gear to manage underway, reducing the learning curve for newer sailors. The broad beam typical of catboat designs provides generous interior or cockpit volume relative to overall length, making it a sociable and comfortable platform for leisurely outings. While not intended for offshore passages or competitive racing, the My Cat suits sailors who prioritize fun, accessibility, and low-maintenance ownership. Those drawn to classic aesthetics and uncomplicated sailing will find it a rewarding and characterful choice.
