Cape cod cat
10 / 20 - score 47%
The Cape cod cat is a 17.0ft gaff head cat designed by Charles Whittholz and built in fiberglass by Cape Cod Shipbuilding since 1971.
The Cape cod cat is a moderate weight sailboat which is a very high performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a racing boat.
Despite its low score, this boat is ranked in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
