Why is this called a "catboat"
You know, after 10 years of shooting mostly a smaller version of
this big one, I've never asked my sailing friends that question.
I'll check in to it!
Probably just a coincidence, but in Swedish this type of rigging
(mast far forward, gaff mainsail, no jib) is called "kattrigg", which
of course means "cat rig".
