~A New Breed of Cat Boat Clark Mills wanted to design a shoal daysailer that would rig and sail easily, quickly, and comfortably as well as accommodate his family and friends. The Sun Cat was designed as an easily driven, roomy day boat and overnight-er 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 with fiberglass trunk, the Sun Cat will provide convenient trailering and maintenance-free enjoyment.
Individuals who appreciate timeless design and quality fabrication, who wish to explore coastal waters and quiet creeks, and who demand value from a yacht, will warmly relate to the "new tradition" that the Sun Cat brings.
