Perfect small sailboat Weasel Cat
Great for an adult or children! This one-design sailboat called a Weasel Cat, was a club trainer in the 1930s–50’s. It is how thousands of kids learned to sail.
Constructed by Palmer Scott & Co., New Bedford, Massachusetts. It has a cockpit large enough for 4 kids (virtually unsinkable, and if tipped will head into the wind).

- Gunter Marconi rig for easier trailering and hoisting
