Venture Cat 15
Description
The VENTURE CAT 15 has banana shaped hulls, possibly influenced by the HOBIE 14 and 16 which were hugely popular at this time. Another version with less rocker was introduced in 1975 or so, though hull and sail dimension for both versions are similar.
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.
