Why do they call "cat boats" cat boats?


It stands for *can't always tack*. You have to jibe them most of
the time. The sail's too big and it's too far up in the bow. They
get in irons worse than anything......

Having sailed catboats most of my life, I can say you are absolutely
wrong. In fact, you haven't been right on much lately, this could be
more proof that you are really Neal.

I'm here. Please don't cornfuse this obvious imposter with me.

Respectfully,
Capt. Neal
