Wittholz 18' Cat Boat
Description
The Wittholz 18' Cat Boat is a classic gaff-rigged catboat designed by naval architect Charles W. Wittholz (1918–1993). Wittholz, known for his affinity for traditional catboats and a series of chine-built plywood designs ranging from 11' to 29', created this as part of his lineup of practical, homebuild-friendly shoal-draft sailers suited for daysailing, gunkholing, and light cruising in protected or coastal waters.

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. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
