The Picnic Cat is an eye-catching, stable, easy to sail, easy to rig, easy to launch, easy to tow, easy to store boat with lots of room. The mast raising system is particularly ingenious – you can raise the mast with one hand, then attach the forestay with a simple cam lever, no tools required. It makes a great family daysailer, or is easy to handle single-handed.
