The Sunday Cat launches and sails

April 17th in Clearwater Florida the Sunday Cat was launched and sailed.  We are extremely pleased with the sailing performance, Mastendr Plus system, comfort and roominess of the cockpit.
 
These photos were shot with company personnel on board for evaluation purposes.  Sales photos will be taken at a later date.

The Sunday Cat nears completion

 
 
 
The concept of the Sunday Cat was to have a boat with the cockpit space of our current Sun Cat Daysailer but with the convenience of an enclosed porta potty area and, if necessary, a place to get in out of the rain.  There is also an abundance of storage space that is accessible through the seat locker hatches in the cockpit or inside the little cabin.  The cabin is not only large enough for the porta potty and gear but there is pleanty of room for a cooler.  The Sunday Cat is not a sleep aboard boat but with the addition of the optional boom tent one could camp cruise by sleeping in the cockpit.
 
This is the prototype Sunday Cat.  It is incomplete in these photos but there is enough to show how things work.  We are very happy with the mast raising system, the Mastendr Plus.  You can stand in the cockpit and raise the mast.  The physical effort is minimal.
 
The interior photos do not show all function but will give you an idea of the great storage space and how the head is located.
 
I apologize for the boat being so messy.  We just had not had time to clean it up yet.
