Pinkletink Crosby Cat Half Hull 1932
Since the 18th century it has been customary for shipwrights to fashion a half-model of a ship prior to construction.  Handcrafted forms similar to these enabled the builder to study and perfect the hull design before a complete set of plans were drawn. These models were not only functional but were often used to adorn the walls of the shipyard offices. 

We are offering a fine example of a wooden half hull model of the 1932 Herbert Crosby Cat Boat “Pinkletink”.  Cats are truly American boats evolving out of the northeast Atlantic with masts well forward and a generous beam for a small boat.  Cats have been work boats, day sailors and racers.  The full sized “Pinkletink” is 22’ and the last time we checked was also for sale at: http://old.catboats.org  for $35,000
