Goodness me, Bart! the Beetle Cat is a 12' boat, even if it is 6'
wide! I think Katy is after a little bigger, somehow. While she
refuses even to consider a catboat with the good sailing manners
and magic accommodation of the cat yawl Lady Kate, nevertheless a
decent sized catboat, say 25', would work extremely well in the
waters she's describing, even if the centreboard divides the
cabin into two....

Catboat sailors are not good sailors in general. You'll see evidence of
this on their web sites where its stated they never reef or go out when
it's windy. http://www.beetlecat.com/reefing.htm
