Interesting, Is it a G-Cat?

Looks a lot like a G-Cat, but the beams are not quite right, unless it's a model I haven't seen.

So what's the story?

sorry, craiglist add, yes a g-cat http://orlando.craigslist.org/bod/2919671179.html

Interesting indeed, the hull shape looks g-cat, but lots of details don't, could have been modified over the years. It has deck mounted jib traveler and that doesn't look like a front tramp setup, bow beam is too small and set below the deck. Also the main tramp isn't connected like G-Cats and it appears to be vynal. Rear beam doesn't look right either. Compare to this G-Cat 5.0 below.

Could be an early/late model or a frankenboat assembled from G-Cat hulls.

i dont think it is a g-cat, doesn' have deck lids, tramp lacing holes in those lids, the freeboard looks to long, etc... etc

I sent a pic to Hans, we will see what he says

Agreed, it doesn't look like the G's iv'e seen. Except for the hull shape. Decks and beams are different.

My eyes, they burn!

That's not a G-cat...

Mine doesn't look anything like that,
Beams are different and is missing the hull ports
Rudders are different and There is a jump up in front of the beam,
The G-cat doesn't have that.

I believe that is a G-Cat 5.0 first year of production. They orignal G-Cat 5.0 had a step deck like that. Later they were changed to a level deck. The same style as Han,s sailed to Mexico on as a publicity stunt for the G-Cat. But as my wife has told me before, I could be wrong.

i love it! retro/super 70's... fun resto project for a wealty cat collector(hal)...

1979 G Cat
