Description
Fiona Too
The year 2021 marked the 100th anniversary of the Beetle Cat sailboat. This makes the “Beetle Cat” the oldest one-design that has been continuously produced out of wood and continues to be competitively raced for the past 101 years. The Beetle Cat is a huge is a big part of New England history, sailing, wooden boats and wooden boat building. Its distinctive silhouette is known at a glance, the name brings back memories of learning to sail, first tries at the tiller and of course the smells of cedar, varnish and pine tar. It is the preservation of the art form used to produce a sweet little boat out of a living tree. Fiona Too is a wonderful example of this much-loved craft and should be seriously considered for those with young ones learning to sail or for the sailor getting on in years but still very much young at heart.
Offered for sale with 2020 Spruce Head inflatable tender and Venture single-axle trailer Fiona Too is a complete package requiring very little in the way of assembly required and just a little bit of water to be off and running for the upcoming sailing season.
