Handy Cat

Description

The Handy Cat 14 is a compact, fiberglass, gaff-rigged catboat designed by Merle Hallett of Handy Boat Service in Falmouth, Maine, in 1969. Initially built by Cape Dory Yachts (172 units), it was later produced by Nauset Marine, Handy Boat, and most recently Stroudwater Boatworks in Maine. Known for its classic design, stability, and ease of handling, it’s ideal for coastal cruising, gunkholing, and solo or small-crew sailing.

Custom sail calculations are not possible for this boat as no I, J, P and E dimensions are available.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
