Possibly this one?:

I can't tell, there is no photo! The description in the document says
that she's 22'4", the one in the photo would be, I'd say, over 34'.


Probably not it then. You are definitely talking about a gaff rigged
catboat however based on your description, and there are a lot of them
with "witch" in the name such as Water Witch, Sea Witch, etc. I was
hoping to turn up a one design class of catboats with Witch in the
name but no luck there.

A search on the USCG database for "witch" turns up 246 hits on
documented vessels. There are quite a few in the 34 ft range:
