Accommodations

Hinterhoeller Yachts of Canada produced about 1,000 of these immensely popular cat boats. Mark Ellis designed the boat to be very easy to sail with a single wishbone rigged mainsail, and a modern fin keel and spade rudder. The
result was a boat that is surprisingly fun to sail, and that points just as well as other sloops on the same vintage. Off the wind, catboats are fast. The build quality of Hinterhoeller is legendary. At 11'10" beam for 30'4" length, the beam to length ratio is extreme in comparison to most monohulled sailboats. This
results in an enormous amount of living space, and a very comfortable cockpit with clean uncluttered decks. Salty Kat / Pirate is in good condition, but she is very simply outfitted.
