Description

The present book focuses on a twenty-eight-foot wooden Catboat called Ghost. She belongs to a class of boats unique to Barnegat Bay in New Jersey. The class originated in 1922 and by 1924 was recognized as a racing class under the name A Cat. The class was seriously affected by the Great Depression, but it survived and began a renaissance in 1980, when David Beaton and Sons built Wasp, a new A Cat, following plans dating to 1923. Ghost was Beaton's second A Cat and was an immediate success. Not only did she win seven consecutive Bay championships, 1994-2000 but also exhibited extraordinary craftsmanship. We might say that Ghost was and remains a paradigm of excellence in the construction of wooden boats. Happily, the building process was photographed in detail and is now recorded in book form. Photos paired with explanations take the reader from making patterns and preparing the woodshop to a celebratory launch at Beaton's rigging dock. That is followed by an account of Ghost's initial disaster on the racecourse, a remarkable recovery and then twenty-two years of continuous competition. What made Ghost fast on the racecourse and what did not work are recorded for the reader's consideration. The conclusion focuses on Ghost's new home at the New Jersey Maritime Museum.
