Cat Boat 16

This beautifully crafted open dayboat, designed by Selway Fisher and built by Tavy Wooden Boats in 2015, blends traditional aesthetics with modern construction techniques. The use of iroko, oak, and Douglas fir in a strip-planked, epoxy-sheathed hull ensures both strength and durability, while the gaff rig and solid wood spars offer classic sailing charm. With closed-cell foam buoyancy and a centreboard for shallow waters, she’s both safe and versatile. The Torqeedo 1003 electric outboard provides quiet, eco-friendly propulsion, making her ideal for lakes, rivers, and coastal cruising. A fine example of modern craftsmanship rooted in timeless design.
