Hermann cat
2 / 16 - score 59%
The Hermann cat is a 17.0ft gaff head cat designed by Charles Wittholz and built in fiberglass by Cape Cod Shipbuilding since 1971.
The Hermann cat is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
