Pixie Cat Racing Rig (Pixie 14)
Description
The Pixie Cat Racing Rig likely refers to a racing-optimized setup on the Pixie 14 (or simply Pixie), the popular 14-foot beach catamaran designed by Richard Woods of Woods Designs (UK). This is a lightweight, entry-level, car-toppable plywood catamaran (stitch-and-glue construction) that's hugely popular worldwide (hundreds built), ideal for beginners, families, or casual sailors—but with a "racy" side when tuned for performance. The standard Pixie is not a hardcore racer (the designer positions it as a fun beach boat "not that interested in racing"), but many owners tweak it for club racing, fun regattas, or faster performance. Its sisters—the Quattro 14 and Quattro 16 from the same designer—are more explicitly race-oriented with similar hulls but optimized rigs/sails.

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.
