The Herreshoff 27 cat ketch is a 27.25ft cat ketch (unstayed) designed by Halsey Herreshoff and built in wood or fiberglass by Cat Ketch Corp. (USA) since 1982.
The Herreshoff 27 cat ketch is an ultralight 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. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
