- The Peregrine 160 catboat is a 18-foot stitch-and-glue catboat that has a spacious cockpit and sleeping accomodations. It has all the qualities of traditional catboats plus the advantages of modern wood-epoxy construction: its easy to build, affordable, light, offers great performance, stability and ease of handling. Plans developed by Madeiramar Boatbuilding School, soon to be available through Duckworks!
Length: 16 feet
Beam: 7.9feet
Sail Area: 160 sq ft

If the beam is 9.2 ft, doesn't it require a permit every time you trailer it?
The beam is actually 7.9ft. The beam described in the video is wrong. We will correct it as soon as possible. Thanks for your comment. But yes, the Peregrine 160 is 50-state trailerable without a special permit. If you want more information please get in contact with us by Whatsapp (+55 48 999 969 195). I can send you more info and oictures of the boat. The design is being translated and will soon be available through Duckworks.
Do you have study plans available?
We are in the process of translating these plans . In Brazil standard plywood sizes are different, and we must look for alternative lumber avsilable in North America. Our plans include detailed construction manual. Plans and study plans will be available at the Duckworks site.
A 16 foot boat with a 9 foot 2 inch beam will not give you good performance at all. Stability maybe, but performance not at all
Actually, because of its modest weight and large surface aft, this boat will plane a little when running, and will reach speeds above displacement speed. The 19-foot Peregrine catboat reached 7 knots and I sailed at 5 knots with the sails on the second reef, and 7 people aboard. Wind was good, some 15 knots, crosswind. Still ists a remarkable feat for a wide cruising catboat.
@@stitchandglueboatplans Whats the reasoning, the theory for such a massively wide beam on such a short boat? it seems to go against all the principles of performance. I realize it's not meant to be a race boat for around the cans, so it makes me wonder what the designer had in mind with this design. I could understand it if it was meant for commercial work back in the old days for fishing, where stability and load carrying was the main goal and speed didn't factor into it. I'd like to hear what the designer has to say on the matter
Most cat boats have a beam close to half their length to provide stability as they were originally designed as work boats, not performance boats.
@@kjaubrey4816 Thats what my comment was about, the clip claimed the boat has good performance I called BS on that purely from it's dimensions. There's no need to reply to my comment with exactly what I was saying
