The Shell Boats Crab Claw Cat

The waterbird's eye view.

Fred isn't walking on water, he's standing in the ladder well at the aft end of each hull.

Cover in place for high-speed trailering, also useful as a dry, bug-free stateroom.

Main mast center section is rotated 180 degrees for use with the crab claw sail. Tabernacle mizzen mast in stowed position is also visible here.

Shallow draught really has it's advantages. And having a couple of folding deck chairs ups the comfort factor.

In tidal waters (like Penobscot Bay), shallow draught allows you to land places...

...that you might not have known you wanted to spending six hours visiting!

Foredeck provides room for extra bathing beauties. Or, a slimey anchor rope.

Shod full-length keels maximize flexibility!

Beautiful granite island on the Maine coast. In another hour this'll be two islands.

View of the galley, with captain, designer, and galley crew. Mac 'n cheese, anyone?

David and Goliath. Guess who gets the shallow side of the dock?

Off to another adventure!
