books about catboats

 


Boats of the type of a catboat are originated from America. For those who are interested about further information should have a look at american books. These partly very detailed books had not been translated into other languages. But they offer plenty of information about everything around catboats, historical, catboat-building and design, as well as tales and stories.

Of course all books on gaff rigging are of interest to catboaters, who are using gaff rigs on their catboats.
