FENWICK WILLIAMS CATBOAT – SHENANIGANZ

Comments: Fenwick Williams gave his friend, Maynard Lowery, the plans for this boat just before Fenwick went into a nursing home, saying it reminded him of his youth in Gloucester, Massachusetts. It was the smallest catboat he ever designed. She’s a sturdy, weatherly and extremely stable shoal-draft centerboarder that’s fun to sail.
