Mini-Cat 14 by Stevenson Projects
Description
Mini-Cat 14 by Stevenson Projects is a classic DIY plywood catamaran design from the 1980s (originally created for Popular Science magazine). It's a lightweight, car-toppable 14-foot twin-hull sailboat that's affordable to build and fun to sail — often compared to a Hobie 14 in performance but at a fraction of the cost!

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.
