Catboats by Stan Grayson PDF Summary

Book Description: Created & developed on Cape Cod in the mid-19th century but eventually popular throughout the country, the Cape Cod catboat is perhaps the most uniquely American of all sailing craft. The second edition of CATBOATS will be of interest to all involved with classic sailing craft, to those interested in yachting & workboat history, & to anyone curious about a very special aspect of the New England scene. The book covers the history of the catboat together with stories of people who have become involved with restoring, cruising, & racing these boats. The second edition features a collection of rare 19th century catboat photographs from the Hart Nautical Museum at MIT, these in addition to several photos in the first edition from the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities & other sources. The new book's Appendix also contains useful material on catboat racing techniques & a chapter on catboat lore replete with information on the use of catboats in a variety of New England fisheries. "Every sailor & those who love to read about people, boats & their affinity for the Cape will enjoy this thoroughly pleasing mix of solid information about catboats, the people who sail them & the legends & history that have grown around them."--CAPE COD TIMES. "...there is something about catboats that captures the imagination & sends the mind on an afternoon sail across sparkling waters, & that is exactly what Grayson has portrayed in this delightful book."--YACHTING. Devereux Books, 20 Vassar Rd., Box 503, Marblehead, MA 01945. (617) 631-3055.
