This is a beautiful boat made from Marine grade plywood, fiberglass and epoxy and built with a stitch and glue design. My husband and I spent 2 years building this boat. He was an avid boat builder and his greatest love was sailing. He was tragicly killed last year in a car accident shortly after we finished building this boat.  About the Coresound The Core Sound series open cockpit daysailers were designed by Graham Byrnes Naval Architect of B&B Yacht Designs in North Carolina. The unstayed Cat Ketch rig is easy to sail.  They feature a very strong sail carrying platform given it's wide beam that carries well aft. The CS series will readily pop up on plane and stay up in double digit boat speeds with about 10 knots of wind. The longitudinal seats on both sides of the boat all the way to the deck provides a very spacious cockpit, doubles as berths if you opt for a canvas tent on deck for night use. The boat also features a very large forward storage space under the deck and an aft deck with storage, as well as storage compartments in the seats.A Cat ketch also greatly simplifies sail balance and can even help turn you around quickly without rudder control. It also allows you to Heave too with amazing ease by simply sheeting in the aft sail and allowing the forward to run free. Double sheeting on both sails mean you can trim the sail easily from either tack.
