Catboat

A broad-beamed sailboat carrying a single sail on a mast stepped well forward and often fitted with a centerboard. This mast position, along with the characteristic wide beam (width) of typical catboats, provides a roomier cabin or cargo hold compared to other sailboat designs of the same length. A catboat normally carries a single sail, traditionally gaff-rigged, although modern catboats often carry a gunter rigged sail.
