THE SUN CAT
A Modern Breed of Cat Boat


Also Available as an Open-cockpit Daysailer.
A few short years ago Clark Mills was casting about for a new idea in a shoal daysailer that would rig and sail easily, quickly and comfortably. It woul also need to , gracefully, accommodate his family and friends. Clark began to focus on developing a new "modern breed of Catboat." The Sun Cat was designed as an easily driven, room day boat and over-nighter with a shoal draft to gunk hole along coasts and in harbors not accessible to more burdensome yachts. Outfitted with the MASTENDR quick rig sailing system and stainless steel centerboard/trunk, as installed on her little sister the Picnic Cat, the Sun Cat will provide endless hours of convenient trailering and maintenance free enjoyment. Individuals who appreciate timesless design and quality fabrication, wish to explore coastal waters and quiet creeks, who demand more-than-normal value from a yacht, will warmly relate to the "New Tradition" that the Sun Cat brings.
