Thom Cat 15 Daysailer
 The
Thom Cat Daysailer is designed in the tradition of the
racing cats of the 1890's. At that time cats were raced
extensively, using sandbags for ballast and shifting
it on different tacks. These "Sandbaggers,"
as they were called, were know for their speed and excitement.
We have captured the feeling
of those times yet produced a strong, safe boat with
graceful lines and an attractive gaff rig. This design,
combined with modern fiberglass construction, results
in an ideal boat for sailors of discriminating taste
- and no sandbags needed!
She makes a comfortable family
daysailer that is easy to sail and maintain. She is
trailerable and her rig can be removed or replaced in
a matter of minutes. Her fine lines are a mark of an
easily driven hull, while her hard bilges and great
beam give her ample stability to carry her large, efficient
sail. This combination produces a fast, responsive boat
that is handy to sail. Her pleasing appearance and sound
construction give her owners a certain pride not instilled
by most of the modern daysailers on the market today.
The Thom Cat Daysailer is a boat for the traditionalist
and the practical sailor alike.
